Management Communication

A manager/team leader/supervisor cannot succeed without effective communication skills. Technical knowledge and industry knowledge cannot be used effectively in a management position without effective communication skills. Managers/team leaders/supervisors must communicate with staff, colleagues and customers.

Customer problems occur when there is poor communication. Staff problems are often caused by poor communication. Management tasks such as counselling, appraisal, delegation, presentations and meetings are all dramatically affected by the calibre of communication skills.

Colleagues may ignore managers when they have communication problems. Conversely, good communication skills aid the success of the manager.
