We all know the very well saying that FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE LAST IMPRESSION. This saying includes many factors but one of the very important factor that it does include is the COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
Basics of Communication Skills
By saying communication skill we mean how a person communicates with the other person , how much effective and understandable is he, and also how does he makes his ideas and thinking process understood to the crowd.
In today's world whether you are having a large scale business, a small scale business or a home based business effective communication has become the key factor in each area to make it successful. Since we all know that the era in which we are living is a competitive era so, only that person or only that business could survive who can make himself very clear and understandable to the other people in front of him. So its very necessary to communicate your idea in the best possible way. An effective and well communication makes one individual different from the other individual.
What is meant by Communication Skills?
Communication skills is the set of skills that enables a person to convey information as effectively as possible so that it is received and understood in the right way. Effective communication is all about conveying your message to other people clearly and unambiguously. Its not only about conveying the message but also about how effectively you receive and understand once message with as little distortion as possible. Doing communication in such a manner requires efforts of both the sender and the receiver.
Meaning of Effective Communication
In-fact we say, that communication is successful only when both the persons, one delivering the message and the other receiving the message gets the same information as a result of the communication. When this happens it is a successful communication.
By having successful communication it means you have conveyed your ideas and thoughts clearly and effectively. But if one does not have a successful communication, results could be very odd or they could be disaster too.
When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you actually wanted to send, not necessarily reflect what you think, causing a communications breakdown and creating road barriers that stand in the way of your goals – both personally and professionally.
Communication Skills Example
There has been many cases where just due to lack of communication skills people have lost the golden opportunity of their life. For eg:- A recruiting company recruiting for the post of manager, always looks up for the guy, who is not only knowledgeable, having good ideas and thoughts but also having very effective communication skills. Since without having the power of delivering the ideas there is no use of it. If you cant make one understand your thoughts then its never fruitful. So every year most of the candidates are rejected just because they lack COMMUNICATION SKILL. And this is proven by multiple surveys.
Having effective communication skill does not just mean verbal but also in written format. This inability to make them-self understand makes own individual incompetent at their workplace and stands in the way of their progression.
Approach for Communication Skills
So, before communicating one should be very clear about the ideas and thoughts that one is going to deliver, the audience who is targeted to make them understood, and the way how it is going to be perceived. Once a person lays down this architecture then there is much more possibility of having a successful communication.
