The success of business depends on communication. A person’s ability to communicate can get him or her hired or promoted. Face-to-face, presentations, e-mail messages, memos, and reports are different forms of communication. These are forms of verbal communication. Nonverbal communication is the way someone sits, company logos, pictures, or how long a visitor has to wait. Poor communication leads to wasted time, wasted efforts, loss of goodwill, and legal trouble. Some key factors that can cause poor communication are managers not confident about what the company strategy is; canceling meetings because they cut into productivity; and information provided online not seen by employees with no online access (“What stops line managers being great communicators?,” 2005). Good communication is clear, complete, correct, save time, and build goodwill.…
This course (BCOM/275) discussed many important aspects of communication verbal and nonverbal, cross-cultural communication, and barriers to effective communication to name a few. One aspect in the forefront of my mind is communication also takes place within different contexts like physical, chronological, and functional, to name a few, but the cultural context (corporate culture) applies directly to the surveys and results discussed earlier. According to Cheesbro, O 'Connor, and Rios (2010), “Obviously corporate culture is a significant influence in determining productivity, morale, and personal satisfaction” (p. 10). Choosing the proper job that corresponds with my interests and ideal work culture can lead to more personal satisfaction. BCOM/275 provides ideas about proper communication that can lead to success and aid one in becoming an effective communicator. It is important to become an effective communicator to be successful and flourish within my current or ideal work culture.…
During my time working as a Sprint PCS telesales superviser, I believed that the concepts of communication, as well as, personal participation, were the most critical components of any relationship and also equally the most difficult tasks facing any staff leaders or people in positions of authority. While I have rarely considered communications in the terms described by what we have learned in class this semester, I have definetly pondered the challenges and processes through which communication is expressed throughout professional organizations. In the business setting, I was most comfortable communicating individually with my employees, as well as, various customers and citizens who were interested in our companies services. I believe that my personality, interpersonal skills, educational training, and personal life experiences have enabled me to effectively communicate with people in meaningful ways. In class we learned that during oral communication situations the exchange of information between the sender and receiver is immediate, personal, and both parties have the advantage of interpreting non-verbal cues and clarifying verbal exchanges. One-on-one communication also provides the unique opportunity to build a meaningful relationship between the sender and receiver because of its personal nature. I am convinced that the foundation of any beneficial relationship is trust; and, trust is the result of effective communication. I was always told that trust is an investment that you have to be willing to make in others and that others are willing to make in me. It is fair to say that this form of communication enabled me to perform my duties accuretly and be a successful leader and…
Communication is one of the main planks on which organizational success rests in today 's tough business environment.

Apart from the practical aspects if one has a grasp on basic concepts of communication, it can further assist professionals to communicate skillfully and persuasively (Rai & Rai, 2002).
