Business / Steps To Become A Good Business Communicator/manager by meekparagon(m): 11:22pm On Jun 20, 2021 |
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION It is a process through which two or more persons transmit or exchange thoughts and ideas among themselves. According to W. H. Newman and C. F. Summer, “Communication is an exchange of facts, ideas, opinions or emotions by two or more persons.” Communication is the process of transmitting information and understanding from one person to another or from one unit to other unit with a view to getting the desired response from the receiver. Through this process two or more persons exchange ideas and understanding among themselves to achieve the desired effect in the behavior of another person. It is a two-way channel for transmitting ideas, feelings, plans, commands, instructions, reports and suggestions that influence the attitude towards an organization’s objectives. The communicator’s goal is to convey the meanings or ideas without distortion. Success of the leader and the enterprise depends upon adequacy of communication. It is the responsibility of the managers to establish and maintain the channels whereby they can convey their own thinking and policies to the subordinates, and can receive their reactions and an account of their problems. Communications Process Communications is a continuous process which mainly involves three elements viz. sender, message, and receiver. The elements involved in the communication process are explained below in detail. 1. Sender The sender or the communicator generates the message and conveys it to the receiver. He is the source and the one who starts the communication 2. Message It is the idea, information, view, fact, feeling, etc. that is generated by the sender and is then intended to be communicated further. 3. Encoding The message generated by the sender is encoded symbolically such as in the form of words, pictures, gestures, etc. before it is being conveyed. 4. Media It is the manner in which the encoded message is transmitted. The message may be transmitted orally or in writing. The medium of communication includes telephone, internet, post, fax, e-mail, etc. The choice of medium is decided by the sender. 5. Decoding It is the process of converting the symbols encoded by the sender. After decoding the message is received by the receiver. 6. Receiver He is the person who is last in the chain and for whom the message was sent by the sender. Once the receiver receives the message and understands it in proper perspective and acts according to the message, only then the purpose of communication is successful. 7. Feedback Once the receiver confirms to the sender that he has received the message and understood it, the process of communication is complete. 8. Noise It refers to any obstruction that is caused by the sender, message or receiver during the process of communication. For example, bad telephone connection, faulty encoding, faulty decoding, inattentive receiver, poor understanding of message due to prejudice or inappropriate gestures, etc. Types of Communication Let us delve deep into the 5 types of communication observed between the group of people or a formal team. 1) Verbal Communication Verbal communication can also be called as Oral communication. In very simple terms, any communication that happens orally between people is known as verbal communication. The objective of such communications is to ensure that people understand whatever you want to convey. Because of its very nature, verbal communications is more quick and precise than email communication. In the era of messaging via WhatsApp or using email, people still prefer personal meetings or phone calls (or face to face skype calls) because they are effective and much more convenient in conveying the message. Nowadays, Verbal communication is an important aspect and is looked as a key strength in an individual. The higher up an organization you go, the better should be the verbal skills that you have. This is because you need to ensure that your speech is precise and to the point and does not leave any scope for any misunderstanding. 2) Non-verbal / Interpersonal communication How do you make people feel when you enter the room? Is your body language strong and are you standing straight and erect or are you slouched and tired? Are you clean shaven, looking your immaculate best for a team meeting or are you shabby with shirts that are not ironed? When you shake hands, do you do so strongly or do you just brush your hand against others? The above were some examples of Non-verbal communications or interpersonal communications. One of the Human Resource requirements for new joiners in an organization is for them to have good interpersonal skills. This basically means that the employees should brush up on their non-verbal skills. Example of the Non-verbal type of communications In Customer service, non-verbal and interpersonal skills play a huge role. Imagine you were unhappy with a product and you went to the customer service department. Instead of understanding your problem, the customer service executive gives a rude reply. Repeatedly you visit them and even though the problem is not resolved, you don’t get a satisfactory answer. Compare that with a customer service department which smiles when you come in. They reassure you that they are on top of your problem. They are proactive and update you themselves on when to expect the problem to be resolved. Later on, they follow up whether you were satisfied with the response and if there was anything they could do further. This smile, the body language of reassurance, the listening ability are all non-verbal type of communications. A good customer service executive will pay special attention to them and will ensure that you leave satisfied! Hiring good customer service executives, who have great interpersonal skills, is the sign of a good organization which is focused on customer satisfaction. 3) Written Communications There are many ways that written communications can be used. The number of ways is ever increasing with the penetration of smartphones and the internet. One of the most common forms of written communications used till date is Email. But slowly, written type of communications is becoming more informal with WhatsApp and other online messaging apps being used regularly. All different forms of written communication can be formal or informal. If today, we visit a court of law, you will find that even WhatsApp messages are considered to be legal in nature. In fact, there have been so many cases of celebrities brought under the scanner because of wrong written communications on their social media account. Thus, the above example is further proof that written communication needs to be used safely and effectively. In fact, written communication between friends can be informal but this type of communication between working professionals should always be formal so that any misquoted words are not misused with ill intent. The advantage of written communication is that it acts as the final word once a decision has been taken. When you quote your prices to the customer, when you rank a dealer on top, when you promote an employee or when you launch a new product, you use written communication to communicate the update to your team and your employees. 4) Formal &Informal There are two types of communication when considering the formality of the communication. One is the formal and official type of communication which can be emails, letterheads, memos, reports and other such kinds of written material. These are considered as documentary evidence and certain formality is associated with them. You cannot submit such formal documents and later deny them. Informal communication is one where there is nothing official about the communication that is happening. It can be known as Grapevine communication. There is no specific channel of informal communication because there is Social media, WhatsApp, SMS which are all vehicles of informal communication which can be used by people. Advantages of formal communication When you want to finalize policy and want to decide a course to adopt, then formal communication is more effective Formal communication can help in establishing procedures and ensuring that the steps are followed. Any promises or any official plans need to be formally documented so that they can be referred to later. Advantages of informal communication Informal communication helps the “Open door policy” and makes people more confident and forthcoming with their ideas and creativity. Informal communication does not incite fear into people’s mind Informal talks encourage people to share their problems. The problem with formal communication is that it is not personal and a distance is maintained if you use only formal communications. Whereas on the other hand, informal conversations can get out of hand and there can be negative grapevine generated. 5) Visual Communication One of the industries which most prominently uses Visual communication is the medical industry. New medicines which come into the market have to be shown to doctors and the advantages have to be explained. At such times, the medical representatives carry informative pamphlets which are shown to the doctors and dropped with the doctors. These informative pamphlets have all the information about the medicine so that doctors can feel confident in suggesting the medicine to their patients. Similarly, many different industries are using visual communication to help interaction with their customers so that they can communicate their ideas better. Explainer videos as a concept is rising and is becoming as one of the best types of communication observed on websites. There are many elements in visual communication that can be used by marketers or companies. Colors (such as brand colors) Design (logo and brand design) Advertising Animations Illustrations Typography Presentations Video resumes In person to person communication through visual communication plays a role. Consider the diagrams made by teachers on blackboards when explaining a concept to a class of students. Or we can also take the example of graphs made in power points by managers when doing a power point presentation to a team of executives or seniors. Qualities of a Good Communicator Despite the many ways to communicate, good communicators share in common important principles and techniques that enable them to communicate effectively. The characteristics of good communicators cut across all languages and cultures. Becoming a good communicator has many benefits and advantages in nearly all careers, the home, and in commerce. Remember that becoming a good communicator is a lifelong journey and not a destination. Listening. Good communicators listen. Listening is an important component of communicating effectively not only because it shows other people that you are sincere and interested in what they are saying, but it also allows you to correctly respond to people. Listening enables you to weigh and evaluate various issues before you formulate a response. Listening also affords you a reciprocal response from your audience because you showed that you were willing to patiently listen to them. Clarity. Good communicators communicate clearly whether it in writing, speaking or gesturing. Ambiguous statements or questions amount to a lapse in communication because the truth is unclear. In terms of speaking, good communicators project their voices with an assertive and unwavering tone to ensure that people can literally understand them. In terms of writing, good communicators use the appropriate words to convey different senses of meaning. This limits the potential for ambiguity. Good communicators must have a strong vocabulary Organization. Good communicators organize their thoughts to ensure that what they communicate comes out in an organized fashion. This allows them the ability to make assertions and then substantiate those assertions with premises, examples and illustrations. Good communicators also organize what they say into concise statements that are easy to understand by the listeners. This way it is not too difficult for listeners to follow what they say. Sincerity. Good communicators are sincere. When a speaker shows that she is genuine about what she says, listeners are likely to believe the speaker because of the sincerity with which she speaks. You must be aware that this is not necessarily always the case because speakers can be misguided despite fervent belief, but being wrong does not necessarily exclude a person from being a good communicator. Sincere communicators usually communicate convincingly because they are willing to put their beliefs on the line for the sake of communicating the truth. Barriers to Communication The communication barriers may prevent a communication or carry incorrect meaning due to which misunderstandings may be created. Therefore, it is essential for a manager to identify such barriers and take appropriate measures to overcome them. The barriers to communication in the organizations can be broadly grouped as follows: 1. Semantic Barriers These are concerned with the problems and obstructions in the process of encoding and decoding of a message into words or impressions. Normally, such barriers result due to use of wrong words, faulty translations, different interpretations etc. For example, a manager has to communicate with workers who have no knowledge of English language and on the other side, he is not well conversant with the Hindi language. Here, language is a barrier to communication as the manager may not be able to communicate properly with the workers 2. Psychological Barriers Emotional or psychological factors also act as barriers to communication. The state of mind of both sender and receiver of communication reflects in the effective communication. A worried person cannot communicate properly and an angry recipient cannot understand the message properly. Thus, at the time of communication, both the sender and the receiver need to be psychologically sound. Also, they should trust each other. If they do not believe each other, they cannot understand each other’s message in its original sense. 3. Organizational Barriers The factors related to organizational structure, rules and regulations authority relationships, etc. may sometimes act as barriers to effective communication. In an organization with the highly centralized pattern, people may not be encouraged to have free communication. Also, rigid rules and regulations and cumbersome procedures may also become a hurdle to communication. 4. Personal Barriers The personal factors of both sender and receiver may act as a barrier to effective communication. If a superior thinks that a particular communication may adversely affect his authority, he may suppress such communication. Also, if the superiors do not have confidence in the competency of their subordinates, they may not ask for their advice. The subordinates may not be willing to offer useful suggestions in the absence of any reward or appreciation for a good suggestion Check below for more https://soundmax.com.ng/steps-to-become-a-good-business-communicator-manager/

Nairaland / General / Reasons Why Most Artists Drop Out Of School. by meekparagon(m): 11:01pm On Jun 09, 2021 |
REASONS MOST ARTISTES ARE SCHOOL DROPOUTS Introduction When you first think of it, dropping out of school sounds very terrible; most research works have indicated that the future looks bleak for students who don't finish school. However, over the years, students who dropped out of school have gone on to become successful in their chosen endeavours. Take, for instance, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, who both have established billion dollars companies. This is also true for some students who dropped out of school to pursue careers in music. Jay z, 50cent, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Madonna, to mention just a few are some of the top musicians who dropped out of school to face music as a profession. Having established this background, our article is going to focus on the reasons most artistes are school dropouts. Why do musicians drop out? Several celebrated musicians across the world over the years while reminiscing on their youthful days have narrated how music saved them from poverty and gave them a life, after dropping out of school. These stories have left young people with a high level of musical talent have to make a decision for life at an early stage: First graduate from college? Or dedicate your life directly to music? What many people do not know is that most musicians drop out of school because it is difficult to achieve good results in school and music at the same time. According to the experience of many artists, we can say that it is not easy to learn for the next classwork after six hours of school and then to practise on your instrument for three hours afterwards. It takes a lot of strength and energy to plan the day so that there is enough time to practice, read and sleep. Very few young musicians manage to accommodate other hobbies as well. Kanye West revealed that he dropped out of school when he realized it was interfering with his music career. Many musicians drop out of school early because they realize that they cannot handle the pressure. Grammy Award winner, John Mayer revealed that he dropped out of school when he became overwhelmed with the classwork and courses. Not all 16-year-olds have the maturity and independence to study so early and try creating a career in music. As it has been narrated by most of these artistes many times, it was a difficult task navigating between attending morning classes and performing at late-night gigs. This was the case of British singer, Matty Healy. Indeed, some musicians continued with their education.
