Now You Know: The Need for Communication

We live our lives surrounded by people who’s communication skills are about as reliable as driving a Tonka truck to work. Many relationships and business ventures fail due to lack of communication; all linked to our want and need, to know. Every business, event, organization etc. can only survive when a clear concise purpose is communicated and executed. The cycle of human error introduces a goal followed by the assigning of specific jobs to specific people. However, the goal is often delayed due to lack of communication in the execution process. Follow up and follow through are the keys to success. Ever send an email followed by sleepless nights starring at a computer screen hoping for an inbox response that never comes? Ever suffered at the hands of a friend who just so happened to leave out a vital piece of information that could have saved you a heap of trouble? Often frustration and inconvenience is rooted in the lack of communication. It takes no more than a few questions followed by a few detailed answers that can defuse confusion in any situation. I encourage you to not only be the foundation in your future projects, but vigorously get involved in the construction of them as well. Employers communicate with your employees and employees communicate with your employer.  A thriving and flourishing environment is so when all elements are in sync. Yahoo News article “Google co-founder Page takes over, targets Facebook” reported Jan 20^th that Google is now taking steps to ensure its survival against the conglomerates Facebook and Twitter. Since 1998 household home screens have been hip to Google as a resources and internet guide. It comes as a shock that they are now feeling the pressure from the ever growing social networks. My guess is social networks allow us to communicate more effectively and conveniently thus their popularity grows. Minute by minute updates, photo and video communication; we no longer ponder and wonder what’s going on, we know!! Facebook and Twitter are the top 2 largest social networks and they are because they offer access to ongoing information. If more planners, executives and leaders opened the doors of communication with those involved in their projects they could all receive the benefits of increased popularity, growth through joint understanding and lasting productivity. In your search for success make it your goal to ensure that all parties communicate. Follow up and follow through!
