Effective Communication

Notas do Editor

  1. Explain that listening is one of the single most important skill of a good communicator. Most of us spend approximately 80% of our waking hours communicating, and about 45o/o of that time is spent listening in a variety of settings. However, listening is the least taught communication skill in school. Explain that listening is not always easy. Sometimes the communicator is unclear about his or her expectations, or we apply our own perceptions and biases to the message. Effective listening requires careful attention and specific behaviors to ensure that the message is fully understood.
  2. Correct = facts, spelling, grammarComplete = all relevant informationConcise = brief, avoiding repetitionClear = purpose of communicationCourteous = friendly, honestConcrete = vivid images, detailsCoherent = logical and connected
  3. Ask participants to take a few moments and recall a time when they've sent or received an email that created a misunderstanding or conflict. Follow-up by asking what characteristics of the email caused those issues.NEVER USE ALL CAPS WHEN SENDING AN EMAIL. It will appear that you are shouting at your recipient.
  4. 1. The subject line is the 'headline'. The subject line of an email should briefly express the main purpose of the email message.3. Use a readable size and type of font, and be cautious about using colors to enhance your email. 4. Don't use abbreviations that are not universally understood. 'Dr.' or 'Mr.' are appropriate, but abbreviations such as 'biz', 'LOL', and 'btw', may not be familiar to the recipient.5. Don't forget to sign your name. This seems like common sense, but sometimes it's unclear from an email address who has sent the message.
  5. 7. Be clear and concise. Briefly and clearly communicate the purpose of your email. Avoid lengthy emails that cover several topics - your purpose may get lost in the text. 8. Use proper spelling, grammar and formatting. Always take the time to reread an email after you've written it, and take advantage of spell check. Poor spelling and grammar and improper formatting can make emails difficult to read and understand.9. Consider the tone of the message. Because email is a written form of communication, it is easy to misunderstand the tone of the message. Read your message out loud to yourself before sending it. Mind your manners! Be polite and courteous when sending emails. Use appropriate greetings and language, but consider your audience - if the recipient is a long-time friend, you can be somewhat informal. However, if the recipient is someone you've only spoken to once or twice, you should be considerably more formal. When in doubt, use caution. Never email in anger. Practice the 24 hour rule: before sending off an angry email, save it in a draft folder and revisit it once you have had time to calm down.10. Send replies/follow-ups in a timely manner. While it's unnecessary to send an email response within minutes of receiving it, you should try to send a reply in a timely manner. 'Timely' is a concept that can be perceived differently, so try to be courteous to the sender, who may be waiting on your reply to proceed with a project or task.11. Be sensitive to cultural differences. Emails can be sent across continents and oceans with the click of a button. However, different cultures may misinterpret the meanings of jokes, slang, sarcasm or certain expressions, so use caution.
