Have you ever asked why human beings were born with ears, eyes, noses, mouths ? What do these organs have in common ? Well, they are for the purpose of communication. We need to communicate with the people around us as effectively as possible. Without effective communication, we will get problems with information and efficiency in everything we do.
The only goal of effective communication is for the receiver to get the idea of the message conveyed. Let me tell you a story about myself. Last year, when I and my friends held a briefing session about CORS bidding for our juniors, no one asked me anything about bidding but asked my friends. I didn't mind that but when my friends asked me that they felt as if I was sad because no one asked me questions. It really surprised me and I tried to explain that I was very okay then. Hence, the obvious fact is sometimes, our non-verbal or verbal communication can mislead people and in some cases, it can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, effective communication is crucial, indeed.
Often do I hear that a good student may not be a good teacher. The problem here again is communication. To be a good teacher, you need to have firm background in the subject; however, it's not sufficient. The compulsory skill for any good teacher is the style he conveys knowledge to his student. If the student can understand what he said and accomplish his assignment, he's a successful teacher; unless he's merely a good learner but can't disseminate his knowledge to the others. The communication is again shows its importance in working efficiency.
To be concluded, we can't survive without communication and we can't succeed without effective communication.
