COMMUNICATION METHODS:

In today's world, connected teams and organizations are the only way to
achieve greater things. Connections and relationships are built through
the exchange of ideas and information. Communication serves as a
valuable mechanism for building these connections and engagements
between people.

Communication is a very important skill and art. There are four ways we
communicate with others. Whatever communication method you choose,
it's important to have the right intention to connect with the other
person.
1. WRITTEN
Refers to printed or recorded materials such as plans, contracts,
memos, minutes, requirements analysis documents, design
documents, risk registers and other related documents. Used to
provide well-thought-out and well-planned details. Therefore, it is
easier to verify than verbal communication because everything that
is written cannot be changed immediately. You can also use it as a
reference material in the future.

Written communication can be time consuming, but is very


important in formal scenarios where approval is required and has
legal implications. Email has revolutionized written communication
so quickly that it has become the preferred mechanism for
exchanging detailed information in a flash.

2. VERBAL
It involves exchanging messages or information by using words
orally in face-to-face or telephone conversations. This is the most
common type of conversation as it paves the way for receiving
feedback immediately after receiving a message. It is also known to
be spontaneous. Listening carefully and thinking carefully before
speaking is essential in oral communication.

One must pay attention to the words and phrases that are said.
Spoken language is irreversible, so it is important to construct
phrases and sentences carefully.

Non-verbal communication is sending information without the use of


words. It is mostly through one’s body language, gestures, eye-
contacts, appearance, pitch and tone of one’s voice etc. one can
communicate huge amount of feelings and emotions. They say, “It
is important to understand what has not been said explicitly”.
Non-verbal communication includes, body-language, paralanguage
(pitch and tone of voice), appearance etc. Research has shown that
nonverbal cues or body language along with facial expressions, tone
of voice and body stance account for almost 55% of all
communication.

“A picture is worth a thousand words”. Visual aids such as


animation, colour, illustration, graphs & charts, drawing, signs and
logos immensely enhance written communication. Visual
communication is also used in the right balance for making
information sharing more effective and efficient.
