I believe that except for the communication between employees, the communication between employees and managers are also vital.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/corachen\/files\/2017\/04\/Communication-is-key.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/corachen\/files\/2017\/04\/Communication-is-key.jpg 532w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/corachen\/files\/2017\/04\/Communication-is-key-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/corachen\/files\/2017\/04\/Communication-is-key-297x300.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Working in different level, the tone used in communication are different with other kind of communication. Sometimes when managers are having a conversation with the employees, managers speak most while the employees only need to answer their questions and agree the managers\u2019 idea. Then the communication between them becomes one-way. A lot of employees complain that the communication should be bilateral which means that managers should leave time for employees to speak their opinion toward the conversation topic. One of my friends who once worked in a newspaper editorial department tells me that every time when her managers are having a conversation with them, they feel like they are back to high school. Managers are like teachers who keep talking about their own opinion. Also some managers have low communicational skills which means that they can not focus on the key point of the conversation. I believe that all of these inefficient wrong communication styles make employees tired with communicating with these managers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, referred to the communication process model, both the receivers and senders should stand on each other\u2019s position to consider things. Employees should consider how express his conversation skills and gain managers\u2019 favor. Managers should focus on more about the key point of the idea instead of talking too many nonsense words. Also managers should leave enough talking time for the employees to express their ideas instead of showing their own idea through the whole conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In all, communication as a whole is important but how to communicate, what to communicate determines the efficiency and effect of this conversation. In order to make the conversation effective, both the managers and the employees should improve their original communication styles.<\/p>\n<p>Word count: 340<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jostle.me\/blog\/5-workplace-communications-mistakes-you-should-stop-making\">http:\/\/blog.jostle.me\/blog\/5-workplace-communications-mistakes-you-should-stop-making<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Writer, Leaf Group. &#8220;Ways to Increase Communication Between Managers &amp; Employees.&#8221;<i>Chron.com<\/i>.
