Communication can be verbal, non-verbal, or written and all forms are important to effective communication. Communication is usual a two-way process, including a sender and a receiver; listening and receiving is just as important in communication as sending your message and motivating a response.

Bear in mind that what you wish to convey in your message is not always what will be received by the receiver, as they place their own meaning and perception on your message. Nonverbal communication, or body language, can also be more revealing than verbal communication. Actions and gestures, combined with facial expressions transmit messages of their own, so even silence can transmit its own message.

Communication in the workplace is significant for performing basic functions of management and for functioning within a team. Whether planning, organizing, or leading, communication is the thread that helps you and your managers perform roles and responsibilities.
