Does communication seem
like a foreign concept in your organization?
How often have you tried
to send out a message or communiqué to specific people only to
have them come to you saying they didn't receive it at all. This was
after the fifth time sending it to them too. Or perhaps the message
wasn't interpreted correctly as the ability to determine tone or intent
of the message wasn't correctly executed.
Communication is such a
common factor but much maligned in any environment we encounter during
our time here on Earth.
In working relationships,
communication is essential as it serves as the vessels to your organization's
survival and growth. So, then, why is it taken for granted or totally
butchered during its expedition.
How can you fix this problem?
Simply by choosing the right medium - or method - to send your message
in order to maximize its interpretation rate and ensure it gets to the
right people.
For important messages that
contain queues pertinent to a direct situation, use face-to-face methods
or ones that allow for tones to be deciphered properly. For more informal
communication, such as news updates or information about new products,
services or internal affairs, newsletters with colourful font, designs
and photos are an excellent selection.
These are just examples
on how to increase the chances of your messages being properly received,
deciphered and understood.
Otherwise, they're just
wisps in the wind.
