Effective communication — a leading indicator of organizational performance
Success in today’s professional environment is closely linked to effective communication. In business, science and the public sector, high-quality communication can bring enormous benefits to productivity, reputation, relationships and more.
But does ineffective communication — inside or outside your organization — sometimes create misunderstandings, damage relationships or block progress? Is constructive communication within your team ever replaced by interpersonal tension or outright hostility?
And is written communication achieving its purpose? Have you ever puzzled over a “proposal” to work out what exactly is being proposed? Or ploughed through a turgid report to end up wondering “So what”?

"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place"
