Don’t give up even if the wind is unfavorable.

COMMUNICATION BARRIERS AND WORKPLACE RELATIONS
COMMUNICATION BARRIERS AND WORKPLACE RELATIONS
Communication has great relevance in this modern business environment, especially when it comes to multicultural aspects. Ask any manager, the reason why his decision went wrong, he would instantly say ‘communication gap’. Many misunderstandings and differences come between the people when they do not communicate each other in an appropriate manner in the organization. Sometimes it can affect the personal relations and personal life. The wrong interpretations and understandings in communication should not be carried out of the work place.
Unintentional factors can cause communication gap. Even in oral or written communication the message can take a twist from the intended if the sender is unable to use the right language. If possible the sender should ensure the effectiveness of the interaction before ending the communication. We can’t avoid communication, but we can avoid constraints. Understand the constraints which occur in our day-to-day interaction and try to avoid it.
SIMPLE LANGUAGE
The first constraint occurs due to the way message has been tailored. The best way to avoid this problem is to use simple language. The response desired should be pointed out clearly and conveys the message.
UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS
The audience requirement and the levels of knowledge possessed by the audience have to be carefully analyzed before delivering the message. The language used by various managements (top-level management, middle level management and bottom level management) in the organization should be different when they have cross-sectional interaction. The language formulation should be associated with the objectives of the organization.
LIMIT THE WORDS
It is the habit of the people, mostly in Indian contest; I can say, people in the organization used to dump with words in the interaction and confuse with information overload. It is felt that the more one explains in the message, clarity becomes visible. At the same time too much words and actions can cause confusion and misunderstanding in the receiver’s mind. Better use limited and clear words and actions in the language to avoid such problems.
VALUE THE TIME
Priorities the content of the interaction is a simple way to value time. I often write that time is the most precious and valuable thing on earth. Remember, the pressure on employees should be avoided when the activities are coordinated in a prioritized manner.
EMOTIONS
Don’t misunderstand, here emotions equal to nonverbal communication. It can actually cause difference in the way it has been send and received. Especially, not to offend anyone, let me tell you there is huge difference in the nonverbal aspects of the people of east and west. It is quiet common among the linguistic barriers. The best way to solve this barrier is to understand other people and accept them as they are. Help each other to know better.
PRE-DETERMINATION
Avoid all kinds of pre-determination and prejudice in our interaction. These pre-determination becomes more dangerous when the receiver completely avoid the message and its reliability. Constant interaction and learning the other person is the only way to avoid this dangerous constraint from the communication.
As a conclusion I would like to write, the barriers of communication can occur at any time. The awareness, analysis and acceptance can avoid problems. When barriers removed, there is a smooth way paved for effective communication and best, let me repeat “best” relation.

FIND TIME TO DO YOUR FAVORITES
We are living in a busy atmosphere and most of us are having a busy schedule. Due to this busy schedule we miss many things and tend to blame, that we do not have enough time. This approach becomes more critical when we leave our basic responsibilities and requirements. We have solution for all these troubles if we spend some time carefully.
- Create a list of activities that has to be accomplished. If your circumstances does not permit just have a calculation of the activities in your mind.

Find time to do everything and find happiness in whatever we do. But let it be a fruitful one. Fight against procrastination and tactically manage the people who try to grab our vital hours. Have a plan for our whole day and spend the time carefully. Time once lost is lost forever and it is not possible to get back even a minute. Remember one thing; everybody on earth shares an equal amount of time, i.e. 24 hours. Jests take a day to analyze the way we spend our time and have a calculation to find out how much time we spend effectively and efficiently. Draw an approximate figure for our whole year based on the calculation. We will astonish to see the result! Have a plan for your whole day and go ahead. Wish you success.
MANAGING EXPECTATION; AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO SUCCESS.
Stating expectations, or what someone wants accomplished, is an essential ingredient for success in any human life. They can focus on the relevant matters and tactics that will lead them in the direction of success. It must be outlined through effective communication. Everyone in this world has an expectation and that works as a catalyst for growth.
Understanding expectation in the organizational contest has great relevance in this modern cut throat business environment. In organizational contest it is clearly linked with responsibility and accountability. It also describes what they will be evaluated on at set points during the work process.
Let us think about expectation from two aspects, i.e. management and employees. Whoever in the organization, communicating the expectation should be open and have crystal clear focuses on what they expect. Management should not have a blind assumption that without proper communication the staff will “just get” the expectation and work to achieve that. Focus in task can be accomplished if the expectation of the company is clearly stated to the staff. Best way to tackle this issue is to draw end result and list down the actions to accomplish it. Then freely communicate with the staff.
In this similar way the employees in the organization has expectation about the organization and it can be linked with their personal goals. It will be directed by their social, economical, cultural and educational outlooks. If the manager doesn’t know what are the expectations of the employees working under him, just initiate the discussion and have better understanding of the expectations of the employees. Help them to manage and coordinate their expectation.
It will be extremely useful when working with staff, teams and colleagues. Doing so provides structure and a basis on which to work effectively together, in the same direction and towards the same goal: success.
