To achieve a clear communication path the receiver must understand the instruction or information being given. By providing them with the reasoning behind the information we are trying to get them to engage in a positive way with the message or instruction. If the receiver understands the purpose of the message being communicated they are more likely to buy into it and make a commitment to the purpose behind it. The message passed must be clear to them so they understand what we require from them. We must ensure the communication contains all the information they will require to achieve the desired result. Also the receiver will need the chance to clarify any questions they may have in order to fulfil their requirement.
