4 Tips For Effective Communication At Work

Get straight to the point and ask for what you want. And then provide the context. More often than not, your colleague already has the background information or they trust your judgment.

The challenge in communicating isn’t writing and speaking well. It’s crafting a message that resonates with your target audience. Consider what the person you’re talking to cares about. Communicate in terms that they understand, wherever possible.

Screenwriters know that every scene in a great movie should push the story forward and they write their scripts accordingly. The same applies to communication. Each message that you send should move the discussion forward. Either by concluding it or leading to a tangible action. Don’t be the person that sends a message that no one can respond to in a meaningful way.

Communicating well is also appreciating that some details don’t matter. To communicate effectively, you need to be selective. Everyone’s busy and no one has the time to filter through the noise to get to the signal.
