Interpersonal Communication Conflicting or inappropriate assumptions –Good managers seek verbal and nonverbal feedback before continuing the communication process. Semantics –Multiple interpretations of words and phrases. –Development of jargon amongst groups of people in specific situations resulting in the alienation of outsiders. Perception –Perception is relative to different people. –Selective perception often distorts the message. Emotions –Communications during periods of high emotions are usually unsuccessful.

Illustrations of Perceptual Distortion

Learning to Communicate Managers must understand their audience: –What does the audience already know? –What does it want to know? –What is its capacity for absorbing information? –What does it hope to gain by listening? Is it hoping to be motivated? Informed? Convinced? –Is the audience friendly or hostile?

Are You a Good Listener? Are you open to what other people say to you, or do you make up your mind about things before you hear other people’s views? Do you become bored when other people speak? Do you interrupt people when they are speaking? Do you daydream at meetings? Are you hesitant to ask clarifying questions?

Listening Exercise Rules Teams of two (Talker and Listener) Listener must draw a picture described by the Talker Talker can not see the Listener’s picture Half the class (the listeners can ask questions) You have 10 minutes.

Steps in Active Listening Identify the speaker’s purpose. Identify the speaker’s main ideas. Note the speaker’s tone as well as his or her body language. Respond to the speaker with appropriate comments, questions, and body language.

Using Active Listening Listening –Knowing how to listen. –Understanding why customers are dissatisfied. Responding –Demonstrating interest in customer concerns. –Maintaining courtesy and friendliness. –Determining what went wrong and how to solve customer problems. Making sure the customer is satisfied –Ensure satisfaction. –Interpret customer feedback. Figure 3.6

Importance of Feedback and Nonverbal Language Feedback –Informs the sender if the message is correctly received by the receiver. –Greatly improves the accuracy. Nonverbal Communication –Paralanguage: Includes pitch, tempo, loudness and hesitations. –Important supplement to verbal communication and even change the meaning of the verbal communication. –Effective way to communicate emotions.

Written Communication Purpose –Why am I writing this document? –What action do I want the reader to take after reading it? Audience –Who will read this document? –How much does the reader already know about the this topic? –How will the reader use the document? –Are there any special sensitivities I should be aware of? Main Message –What is the main message I want to convey? –How will I support that message? Figure 3.8

Principles of Good Writing Write as simply and clearly as possible. Be sure that the content and tone of the document are appropriate for the audience. Proofread the document.

Writing Improvement Tips Use language that is easy to understand. Avoid using jargon or bureaucratic language. Use short, simple sentences. Use restrained, moderate language that is not overly emotional. Avoid passive voice. Use gender-neutral language. Avoid sexist language. Figure 3.9

Developing Oral Communication Skills Make emotional contact with listeners by addressing the listeners by their name, where possible. Avoid speaking in a monotone. Be enthusiastic and project a positive outlook. Avoid interrupting others. Always be courteous. Avoid empty sounds or words, such as “uh,” “um,” “like,” and “you know.”

Techniques for Speaking Effectively Enumeration (listing key points) Generalization followed by examples Cause and effect Comparison and contrast

Choosing the Best Communication Method Choosing the best method of communication helps in relaying information in appropriate and professional manner. –Verbal communication Most appropriate for sensitive communications such as reprimanding or dismissing an employee. –Written communication Most appropriate for communicating routine information, such as changing company policies or staff.

Communicating Within the Organization The Grapevine –Informal communication channels within an organization –Does not necessarily follow organizational hierarchy. –Diffused within both non-management and professional personnel. –It is often, paradoxically, accurate. –Rumors and distorted messages are always present, however honest disclaimers by management will stop the spread of inaccurate information.

Communicating Within the Organization (cont’d) –High-speed exchange of written communication The Internet/ Information superhighway –Global collection of independent, but interconnected computer Intranets –Private networks that provide multimedia applications within organizations.

International Business Communication Complicating factors: –Communicating in foreign languages. –Cultural differences exhibited through nonverbal communications. Suggestions to overcome these problems: –The manager should learn the culture of the people he or she communicates with. –Write and speak clearly and simply.
