You can never put a value on Communication
or the lack of it. Simply put it is invaluable and outright precious to every
sphere of your life. More so when it comes to your work and professional
success.
Take a quick walk down memory lane and you
will find lot of those small incidents that could have turned better or changed
decisions in your favour. It can be as simple as getting buy-in for your idea,
saving a friendship or winning that big deal you have worked tirelessly for.
So what is it about communication that
makes it so crucial for us irrespective of who, what and where we are?
From my experience, there are 4 specific elements that must be
attended to in all our communications.
1. What?
You should be absolutely crystal clear in knowing “what
is that you wish to communicate”. One must accord that extra care in
segregating the emotion and the facts in your communicationto ensure the point
is well received. Else emotions will generate a further emotional response
thereby diluting the facts & defeating the very purpose of your
communication.
It is furthermore important to be very concise and crisp
with no beating around the bush and neither keying in info that can be shared
at a later stage.
