ESSENTIALS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Communication is the exchange of information between two parties. In any communication, the sender wants a definite action to be taken by the receiver. How do we make sure that the communication received by the receiver is same as intended by sender  & that actions carried out based on such communication are as intended by sender.

In short, what are the essentials of effective communication?


1.  The message should be useful & should have some purpose: 
      Each message should have some purpose & it should be told clearly. The message should serve some useful purpose for both sender as well as receiver.

2. It should be brief but complete:
      ‘Brevity is the soul of wit’ should be the guiding principle in creating any message. Lengthy & too elaborate messages do not convey the intent of the sender & are difficult for the receiver to understand.

3.  Should be simple & clear: 
      All messages should use simple language. It should be clear about the intention of the sender. Complicated sentences & difficult language make it difficult for the receiver to understand the message.

4.  Should have proper language: 
      Proper & courteous language keeping the status of receiver in mind should be used. In case of verbal communication the language used, tone, body language etc. should also be kept in mind.

5    Should have provision for follow up: 
        For any communication to be effective there should be provision for follow up so that the sender & receiver can both follow up with each other.


If we take care of above suggestions in framing our communication, communication received by the receiver will be same as intended by sender  & that actions carried out based on such communication will be as intended by sender.
