Communication is all about spreading understanding so that people can connect and work or live better together.
The way we communicate with others can greatly alter the relationships we have and techniques can be used to either deliberately create harmonious working or to put a spanner in the works. By fostering a common understanding and awareness the message you try to portray becomes ever clearer and you are more likely to gain support from others.
From a management point of view, portraying a vision enables an executive to lead without being ever-present on the shop floor. A strongly communicated message gains respect and understanding and increases the influence of the communicator. Being able to relate concepts and plans with no ambiguity is an important skill but it is also important that the person receiving the message realizes the same as what he is being told. For this reason you should incorporate feedback when you are communicating so that you can be sure that others are on the same wavelength.
At any level of a job communication skills are important and often employers look for the ability to make oneself understood in both verbal and written context as a key issue in deciding on employees. It is key to know what your message is, to succinctly recount it and to be persuasive enough to get others to buy-in to what you are saying.
