The Importance of Communication

As we are well aware, gaining a competitive advantage and keeping it is the whole point of being in business. As a manager, we have to be the backbone of the organizations goals and it starts with our great asset—our people. If I were to ask people what they feel is most important in a relationship or at work, the word communication would come up more often than not. 

Communication is more than sharing information to individuals or groups to reach a common understanding, it is undoubtably a fundamental element of a business as one cannot operate without effective communication. 

The Certified Manager credentialing program is an excellent way to beef up your communication skills. In fact, communication is a key point in the very first Management Skills book. 

At its core, managers in every field use communication to:

• Project a Professional Image

• Build Relationships

• Motivate and Inspire

• Deliver Clear Directions

As you can see, communication = competitive advantage! 

In today’s global environment, communication becomes even more critical to your success. Information Richness and perceptions can become diluted if you aren’t properly navigating the various communication mediums that exist in a world ripe with technology. Put simply, we need to continue to gain communication skills so we can be better managers than we were yesterday.
