3. Listen
This might be the easiest tip that we could give in this blog, Listening is essential in communicating effectively and understanding the message being shared. People appreciate knowing that they are being heard, take time to listen to others instead of always just saying things on your end. Pay attention to what the other person is saying, encourage them to share their thoughts and suggestions and always ask them for clarification to ensure they understood your message.
4. Use the right method of communication for the right audience
Picking the right form of communication is essential, discern the difference between using emails, formal memos or instant messaging. Not using the right medium can alter the meaning of the message, serious topics like layoffs or changes in salary should be done in person.
