The Importance Of Effective Communication

Hayter (2006) goes on to enthusiasm, which creates a sense of importance. If the speaker is enthusiastic then the listeners will feel excitement towards the communicator. Knowing one’s audience is imperative to the tone of the communication. Caring about who one is speaking to will give the audience recognition (Hayter, 2006). Feeling a topic is unrelated to someone can lead to them not listening. Communicating to an audience requires knowledge as well (Hayter, 2006). The communicator must know the subject well or they will seem to have no authority on the topic (Hayter, 2006). There would be no point in communicating at all if one did not know about what they were saying. My strength is leading by example so I use communication effectively

I have enthusiasm because of my passion. Communicating effectively takes knowledge but enthusiasm wields power as well. Landale (2007) states “leaders with access to their right brain as well as their left brain have a far better chance of inspiring people so they want to work” (p. 15). Because energy and enthusiasm directly relate to passion, my communication is inspiring.
Observation of the whole picture is also essential in effective communication. I am able to understand the reasons an organization does something. Insight helps communicators explain an organization’s vision. Taking a step back allows for clarity of situations. If a team needs explanation, I can provide this by seeing underlying reasons for action.
Making complex ideas simple is essential to effective communication (CSU-Global, 2015). My strength of seeing the big picture takes the complex ideas and simplifies them. Explaining these ideas to team members is vital to their understanding. This strength will help me define the organization I work with. Communication is important to professional success. If I continue observing, I will translate reasons for goals to the members of my team.
