Intended message  is frequently  mis-communicated,  misunderstood,  mis-quoted or  even missed altogether  because of ineffective  interpersonal communication skills.
Communication helps : people reach some understanding  of each other,  learn to like each other, influence one another,  build trust,  and learn more about themselves and  how people perceive them.
People  who communicate effectively  know  how to interact with others  flexibly, skillfully, and  responsibly,  but without sacrificing  their own needs and integrity.

Misconceptions of Communication
Communication is complex.   When listening to, or  reading someone else's message,  we often  F I L T E R   what's being said  through a screen of our own opinions.  One of the major barriers to communication  is our own ideas and opinions. What are  Communication Misconceptions ?
What are Communication Misconceptions ? WORDS HAVE MEANING, BUT MEANINGS ARE NOT IN WORDS. Your perception about the world  is not the same as mine.  Our experiences may give  different   colors and hues, life and meanings to words.  And because  your perception determines  the meanings you attribute to words, in communication, the message SENT is not necessarily  the message RECEIVED.   And for your listeners,  real communication is the communication they received.

MORE COMMUNICATION IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. Too much talking is, many a time, counter-productive. How much talking ? The decision is contextual. Study the audience . Let not the audience got bored, irritated,  and come to the conclusion that – the speaker does not know  how to manage his time,  the content of his message, and himself. Sometimes, it is much better to stop talking.  What are Communication Misconceptions ?
NO SINGLE PERSON OR EVENT  CAUSES  ANOTHER REACTION. Earlier events, their impact and intensity, earlier experience, may be with other persons, and of course, earlier experience, with the same person –  all combined together is likely to cause the  REACTION What are Communication Misconceptions ?
What are Communication Misconceptions ? COMMUNICATION CAN SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS. Communication, no doubt helps in solving problems.  However,   it is best to bear in mind that communication  will not solve all problems.   Problems of people are  not only  caused by miscommunication.
Communication is Transactional Each person is both  sending and receiving simultaneously. Parties  communicating  have an impact on each other
Communication is a Process Changes  in events and relationships  are part of a continuous flow.  Every communication experience  is the result of  the accumulation of experiences preceding the present one.  Every new experience  affects the future ones.

Workplace Communications  5   types of communication relationships:  Collaborative,  Negotiative,  Competitive, Conflictive and  Non-recognition.
Non-Verbal Communication:   People send messages to each other  without talking.  They communicate through  facial expressions,  head positions,  arm and hand movements,  body posture,  positioning of legs & feet, and the way people use “space”

Being aware of non-verbal communication,  one can interpret the signals of others, or send signals to others.  Awareness of non-verbal communication  helps people: •  Project an image of confidence and knowledge. •  Demonstrate power or influence •  Express sincerity, interest and cooperativeness. •  Create trust. •  Recognize personal tension in self and others. •  Identify discrepancies between what people are saying and what they are actually thinking. •  Change behavior and environment  to encourage productive discussion.
Intrapersonal Communication: When people talk to themselves,  communication takes place within the brain.  Individual reflection, contemplation, meditation are examples of Intrapersonal Communication. It embraces their thoughts, experiences and perceptions during a communication event.  Behavior responses  on all other levels of communication  essentially begin on intrapersonal level.
Interpersonal Communication:   This type of communication can occur in both a one-on-one and  a group setting.  This also means being able to handle  different people in different situations and making people feel at ease.  Gestures such as eye contact, body movement, and hand gestures are also part of interpersonal communication.
Interpersonal Communication:   …  contd. The most common  functions  of interpersonal communication are  listening,  talking and  conflict resolution.  Types  of interpersonal communication  vary from verbal to non-verbal and  from situation to situation.
Communication styles
Communication Styles Every time a manager speaks,  s/he chooses and uses  one of four basic communication styles:  Passive Aggressive,  Passive-aggressive and Assertive.
1.Passive Style :  Passive communication is based on compliance and hopes to avoid confrontation at all costs.  In this mode, people do not talk much,  question even less, and actually do very little.  They usually have a low sense of self-esteem, and have a difficult time  recognizing their own needs and  knowing how to meet them more appropriately.  They internalize discomfort rather than risk, upsetting others.  This style tends to result in a lose-win situation, and results in feelings of victimization, resentment, and a loss of a sense of control.
2. Aggressive Style :  Aggressive communication  always involves manipulation. Managers adopting the aggressive style create a win-lose situation.  They use intimidation and control  to get their needs met,  and they are disrespectful and hurtful to others in communications.  They have the underlying beliefs that  power and control are the only way to get needs met.  They operate from a real sense of inadequacy  and may have a lack of empathy for others.
3. Passive-aggressive Style :  A combination of styles, passive-aggressive  avoids direct confrontation (passive), but attempts to get even  through manipulation (aggressive).  The passive-aggressive people  incorporate elements of both the styles.  They try to use procrastination, forgetfulness,  and intentional inefficiency  rather than being direct  aggressive in their communications with others.  This style of communication often leads to  office politics and rumour-mongering.
4. Assertive Style :  The most effective and healthiest form of communication is the assertive style.  It’s how people naturally express themselves when their self-esteem is intact,  giving them the confidence to communicate without games and manipulation. The assertive people are direct  with the goal of creating a win-win situation. They operate from the belief that  each person is responsible for solving  his or her own problems, and  neither party in communication has to justify themselves to each other. They take responsibility  for their own decisions and actions.

Understanding  the  four basic types of communication   will help managers learn  how to react most effectively  when confronted with a difficult person.  They  always have a choice  as to  which communication style to use.  If they are serious about taking control of their life, they should  practice being more assertive.   It will help them diffuse anger,  reduce guilt and build relationships - both personally and professionally.
STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING  ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION •  Watch your body posture – practice using an open, assertive body language and voice. •  Think before you speak.  Take a few seconds to make sure  you are conveying the right message,  and in the way you want to convey it. •  Don’t apologize if it’s not warranted. •  Remember it is ok to say “no”. •  Remember everyone is entitled to an opinion, and don’t try to convince others beyond a limit.
3. Reading:  Good reading habits and strategies help managers handle their tasks more efficiently.  six reading strategies for optimal results: •  Knowing what is needed to be known, and reading appropriately •  Knowing how deeply to read the document:  skimming, scanning or studying •  Using active reading techniques to pick out key points and keeping the mind focused on the material •  Using the table of contents for reading magazines and newspapers, and clipping useful articles •  Understanding how to extract information from different article types •  Creating a table of contents for reviewing material
Barriers  and Roadblocks of Communication
Barriers to communication INITIATION OF MESSAGE Different personalities of sender and receiver Different perceptions of sender and receiver Receiver evaluates credibility of sender Words have different meaning Receiver hears what he wants to hear Code not understood Noise Distorted message
Common Roadblocks to Communication Communication roadblocks are an inevitable aspect of every workplace.  These roadblocks distort  the normal flow of communication.  Managers should realize  the importance of understanding the interpersonal communication process  at the workplace, focusing on:
Communication Roadblocks •  The way minds work •  Sender’s behavior •  Receiver’s behavior

2. Body Language – Reading the Body Language Non-verbal communication, i.e. body language, has been a means of interpersonal communication and was used long before language appeared.  In a  message , words are effective carriers of factual information. The  content  of the conversation can be important. But when  emotions  are engaged they should receive primary attention and they are mostly conveyed by non-verbal elements.  Understanding the body language is one of the most important skills for effective communication.  In order to do it:
Focus attention on the important clues: Facial expression – especially eyes Vocal expression  Tone of the voice gives information about speaker’s  feelings, anger, boredom, depression,  enthusiasm or disbelief Posture and gestures – movements of the head, legs,  and hands reveal the levels of self-esteem and  inner energy Clothing and environment style give clues  about personal characteristics Body Language – Reading the Body Language
Note discrepancies When there is a discrepancy  between words and body language,  both messages are important.  Search for the meanings – the  contradictions Be aware of own feelings and  bodily reactions Non-verbal communications  can by-pass the conscious mind and  trigger responses. By becoming aware of what one’s body is experiencing  one becomes more sensitive to  what other people are feeling. Body Language – Reading the Body Language
Reflect the feelings back to the sender Read non-verbal signs in  the context .  Sometimes, body language is very clear and unambiguous,  but at other times it can be difficult to decipher.  But mastering the art and science of  decoding the non-verbal signs  can improve communication dramatically  and  overcome many obstacles. Body Language – Reading the Body Language
3. Speaking When sending a message as speakers, people should: •  Know what they mean and express it clearly,  with respect and sensitivity. •  Check or build the common understanding of  the words they use, because words can have different meanings for different  people, especially if coming from different cultures and educational backgrounds •  Use de-escalatory language, resist the  temptation to make personal attacks and accuse, by replacing accusatory “you”  statements with less provocative “I” statements. Body Language – Reading the Body Language
4. Skill Training Skill-building training can improve communication  abilities.  Reading Books and/or attending training programmes,  will surely improve your understanding and  knowledge of the main concepts.  Higher levels of communication effectiveness can be reached only through  intensive and well-designed training programs. More importantly, continuous and committed  practice on the part of the individual is particularly  necessary for skill development.

And for your listeners, real communication is the communication they received.

  • 57. Communication Styles Every time a manager speaks, s/he chooses and uses one of four basic communication styles: Passive Aggressive, Passive-aggressive and Assertive.
  • 58. 1.Passive Style : Passive communication is based on compliance and hopes to avoid confrontation at all costs. In this mode, people do not talk much, question even less, and actually do very little. They usually have a low sense of self-esteem, and have a difficult time recognizing their own needs and knowing how to meet them more appropriately. They internalize discomfort rather than risk, upsetting others. This style tends to result in a lose-win situation, and results in feelings of victimization, resentment, and a loss of a sense of control.
  • 59. 2. Aggressive Style : Aggressive communication always involves manipulation. Managers adopting the aggressive style create a win-lose situation. They use intimidation and control to get their needs met, and they are disrespectful and hurtful to others in communications. They have the underlying beliefs that power and control are the only way to get needs met. They operate from a real sense of inadequacy and may have a lack of empathy for others.
  • 60. 3. Passive-aggressive Style : A combination of styles, passive-aggressive avoids direct confrontation (passive), but attempts to get even through manipulation (aggressive). The passive-aggressive people incorporate elements of both the styles. They try to use procrastination, forgetfulness, and intentional inefficiency rather than being direct aggressive in their communications with others. This style of communication often leads to office politics and rumour-mongering.
  • 61. 4. Assertive Style : The most effective and healthiest form of communication is the assertive style. It’s how people naturally express themselves when their self-esteem is intact, giving them the confidence to communicate without games and manipulation. The assertive people are direct with the goal of creating a win-win situation. They operate from the belief that each person is responsible for solving his or her own problems, and neither party in communication has to justify themselves to each other. They take responsibility for their own decisions and actions.
  • 62.
  • 63.
  • 64.
  • 65.
  • 66. Understanding the four basic types of communication will help managers learn how to react most effectively when confronted with a difficult person. They always have a choice as to which communication style to use. If they are serious about taking control of their life, they should practice being more assertive. It will help them diffuse anger, reduce guilt and build relationships - both personally and professionally.
  • 67. STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION • Watch your body posture – practice using an open, assertive body language and voice. • Think before you speak. Take a few seconds to make sure you are conveying the right message, and in the way you want to convey it. • Don’t apologize if it’s not warranted. • Remember it is ok to say “no”. • Remember everyone is entitled to an opinion, and don’t try to convince others beyond a limit.
  • 68. 3. Reading: Good reading habits and strategies help managers handle their tasks more efficiently. six reading strategies for optimal results: • Knowing what is needed to be known, and reading appropriately • Knowing how deeply to read the document: skimming, scanning or studying • Using active reading techniques to pick out key points and keeping the mind focused on the material • Using the table of contents for reading magazines and newspapers, and clipping useful articles • Understanding how to extract information from different article types • Creating a table of contents for reviewing material
  • 69. Barriers and Roadblocks of Communication
  • 70. Barriers to communication INITIATION OF MESSAGE Different personalities of sender and receiver Different perceptions of sender and receiver Receiver evaluates credibility of sender Words have different meaning Receiver hears what he wants to hear Code not understood Noise Distorted message
  • 71. Common Roadblocks to Communication Communication roadblocks are an inevitable aspect of every workplace. These roadblocks distort the normal flow of communication. Managers should realize the importance of understanding the interpersonal communication process at the workplace, focusing on:
  • 72. Communication Roadblocks • The way minds work • Sender’s behavior • Receiver’s behavior
  • 73.
  • 74.
  • 75.
  • 76. How to overcome Communication Roadblocks ? • Effective Listening • Reading body language • Effective Speaking • Skill Training
  • 77. The Process of Listening
  • 78.

  • 88. 2. Body Language – Reading the Body Language Non-verbal communication, i.e. body language, has been a means of interpersonal communication and was used long before language appeared. In a message , words are effective carriers of factual information. The content of the conversation can be important. But when emotions are engaged they should receive primary attention and they are mostly conveyed by non-verbal elements. Understanding the body language is one of the most important skills for effective communication. In order to do it:
  • 89. Focus attention on the important clues: Facial expression – especially eyes Vocal expression Tone of the voice gives information about speaker’s feelings, anger, boredom, depression, enthusiasm or disbelief Posture and gestures – movements of the head, legs, and hands reveal the levels of self-esteem and inner energy Clothing and environment style give clues about personal characteristics Body Language – Reading the Body Language
  • 90. Note discrepancies When there is a discrepancy between words and body language, both messages are important. Search for the meanings – the contradictions Be aware of own feelings and bodily reactions Non-verbal communications can by-pass the conscious mind and trigger responses. By becoming aware of what one’s body is experiencing one becomes more sensitive to what other people are feeling. Body Language – Reading the Body Language
  • 91. Reflect the feelings back to the sender Read non-verbal signs in the context . Sometimes, body language is very clear and unambiguous, but at other times it can be difficult to decipher. But mastering the art and science of decoding the non-verbal signs can improve communication dramatically and overcome many obstacles. Body Language – Reading the Body Language
  • 92. 3. Speaking When sending a message as speakers, people should: • Know what they mean and express it clearly, with respect and sensitivity. • Check or build the common understanding of the words they use, because words can have different meanings for different people, especially if coming from different cultures and educational backgrounds • Use de-escalatory language, resist the temptation to make personal attacks and accuse, by replacing accusatory “you” statements with less provocative “I” statements. Body Language – Reading the Body Language
  • 93. 4. Skill Training Skill-building training can improve communication abilities. Reading Books and/or attending training programmes, will surely improve your understanding and knowledge of the main concepts. Higher levels of communication effectiveness can be reached only through intensive and well-designed training programs. More importantly, continuous and committed practice on the part of the individual is particularly necessary for skill development.
