Communication is the essential element of life and more important in respect of businessman. The way in which one communicates, reacts, responds, answers, enquires all makes a lot of difference. So successful entrepreneur has to master this art of communication at any cost.
Basically before starting business communication one has to concentrate on few questions- like why to communicate? With whom to communicate? At what time? What you expect in return in communication? And so on. If the person is well prepared with firm belief and answers in mind to all such communication questions, then more probably the communication may not fail and can prompt desired results.
In an organization Top level executives, senior level Managers and Managers need to communicate quite often with their subordinates, fellow-workers, and colleagues. While doing so they may have different motives like- passing on the relevant information to lower rank, giving clear-cut instructions to get the job done well in time, coordinating different functions smoothly so as to achieve end result etc. In such kind of communication they need to be very much authentic, error free. While doing this they also need to pay attention to the response from other side, their views and problems, their points and questions, without questioning or rather doubting their sincerity. Then only it will prove fruitful.
Successful communication is always a two way process. It would be harmful to obstruct the flow from other side, and promoting self ego. It may result in fractured communication, irrelevant communication, misleading and misrepresented communication. The most common mistake many people commit while communicating is takings everything for granted from the other side, which indicates total disrespect, apathy, allergy for difference of opinions, which may ultimately harm the goal.
It is common experience that people like and respond well to those who understand the basic principles of communication, respecting the privacy of other person and respect for difference of opinion. Ultimately the person who is in the position to decide the things has to take a decision based on all facts, figures, and views and keeping in mind the business interest first.
So communicate well to overcome any issue with confidence and sound reasoning.
