Strengths And Weaknesses Of Communication

Patience – I am not patient at all. I pretty much want something done before I even ask someone to do it, yet I know that this is unrealistic. I need to work on this because most things cannot be done immediately and this just results to me stressing, which is also bad. Being impatience prevents me from effectively doing my job and I can work on being patient by reminding myself that everything takes time and everyone works at their own pace. I could also find things to distract me so that I am not focusing on the one aspect that is making me

Communication is an ongoing complex process that brings all different types of people together. Communication creates and rebuilds relationships which can last a lifetime. Even though, communication could create strong bonds it could also destroy those bonds. When it comes to communicating, everyone has their flaws as well as me. One of my flaws, when it comes to communicating, is having the courage to speak my mind within important and necessary conversations. When it comes to communicating, I tend to hold my tongue instead of expressing how I truly feel. Even though I know that not all conversations need your opinion or advice, there’s still those conversations that do. There are certain reasons that I have decided to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself while having conversations with others: fear that the way others perception of me would change negatively, fear of not knowing how they will respond or accept and the fear of leaving my stuff vulnerable in front of someone that could possibly hurt me mentally and emotionally. I have yet to figure out what should be said at the appropriate time, so I rather just keep my thoughts and comments to myself because I cannot do any harm if I’m quiet. My interaction with people has labeled me as someone that continues to “Sugar-Coat” because of the reasons I listed above. Nevertheless, I had multiple conversations with family, friends and acquaintances about how difficult it has been to have conversations with me because it

In an article for Forbes entitled 10 communication Secrets of Great Leaders, Mike Myatt states that, being a great communicator is not about being a greater talker. Instead, being a great communicator is about meeting the needs and expectations of the audience. Experiences also show that, although effective communication is a learned skill, it is more effective when it is spontaneous than formulaic. For example, the read speech is rarely has the same impact on the audience compared to a speech that is delivered spontaneously. I will develop both my writing and speaking skills so that I can become an effective

Communication is often seen as one of the founding building blocks in leadership. This paper will explore what communication strategies are associated with effective leadership and some barriers to effective communication that a leader should overcome. Working in a management position for over 20 years I have learned that the effectiveness of communication is a leading cause for success or failure. How and what communication styles work sometimes takes a trial by error, understanding your audience, getting feedback from former managers or seeing examples from outside your business that worked in other fields. There is no perfect way to ensure that your audience hears, retains and understands

Communication is the process in which we transmit our thoughts and ideas to another person. Knowledge of the basic communication process is essential for communication more effectively. Having effective communication skills are essential in today 's network. How someone perceives your message will prompt how you are heard. "There are two key components of effective communication. First, senders need to accurately communicate their intended message. Understanding is unlikely, otherwise. Second, receivers need to correspondingly perceive and interpret the message accurately. Anything that gets in the way of the accurate transmission and reception of a message is a barrier to effective communication. It is important to be aware of and avoid these barriers when communicating" (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2009, p. 404). The four barriers to effective communication are process barriers, personal barriers, physical barriers, and semantic barriers. To be a successful manager, these barriers will need to be conquered.

Communication is extremely important in today’s excessively interconnected world. Cross culture communication no matter the stage or medium is extremely important. With communication on many levels being so important we must overcome all the challenges that present. With globalization becoming more pronounced we must always consider the cultural significance of our communications. France offers the perfect outside cultural reference for how Western Europe experiences these issues. According to the French government, French is the sixth most common language in the world, and with France at one time being a colonial superpower, French culture has influenced a large portion of the world ("The status of French in the world", 2017). When speaking especially in a public medium you don’t want your message to fall flat so understanding varying cultures is a must and French culture is no different. In our need to be understood and respected we always put our own culture first. In the United States, we have marginalized French culture even in areas where French surnames and culture are familiar (Green, 2009 p. 327). Personally, I love the French language and culture and find it immensely interesting. I took 7 years of French language and culture classes, so this is an interesting topic for research. Surprisingly, it was a difficult area to research, and I ended up using my coworkers for great and helpful information. Some background information I can give off hand is that similar to

Ask any college student what they are asked most often, and you will hear the same reply over and over, “What is your major?” Now go ahead and narrow your respondents down to communication majors and ask them what they are told after they reveal their major to the questioners and you will hear, “Oh you can do anything with that!” Well either that or, “What a waste of time”. In all seriousness however, the reason people feel like a communication major is so versatile is not just because its contents are so wide and vast, but also because its contents are so pertinent to every aspect of life.

Language can be loaded with meaning, beyond its dictionary definition. The meaning of language is often encapsulated in culture from micro interpersonal to macro international. Culture defines who we are and it is expressed in the language we use. When culture is defined as a set of customs, traditions, beliefs, etc., it is more than just a national identity: it is a Sunday social group, a visible minority or youth group, a family run company, a corporate entity, a community. Culture encompasses that which we identify with as a member of society whether it be a large or small group within society. In today’s world of business communication using a common lingua franca such as English helps to make communication more fluid but it is often not enough to bridge cross cultural gaps and common misunderstandings. In our communication we need to be careful in the language we use and the meaning we either knowingly or unknowingly impart on our listeners. (Czako,K., 2015)

Our first experiences with communication are with our immediate family. The relationships with our family members are the most crucial for us to maintain and among the most difficult. Sharing a living space means tension and conflict regardless of the persons occupying it. Conflict can be approached in a number of ways with pros and cons attached to each. It is important to remember that conflict styles and communication climates can change within a group. I say this because they most defiantly changed within my family over the past few years. My family had dysfunctional ways of handling conflict and these led me to adapt different conflict approaches.

The only way to truly learn is to make mistakes. After reviewing and reading the elements and strategies of communication it was very clear, the only way to get better is to break through the barriers that typically create misunderstanding in communication. The six barriers we focused on were cliche, jargon, slang, sexist/racist language, euphemisms, and doublespeak. Although these are called barriers, I like to think of them as a lesson learned.

Introduction: There are several barriers that affect effective communication and correcting all of them will improve the overall communication received by the recipient. Moreover, the barrier of communication is when your message gets distorted. The effective communication involves overcoming and conveying a clear and concise message.
