• And the further away your job is from manual work, the larger the organization of which you are an employee, the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts in writing or speaking. In the very large organisation …. This ability to express oneself is perhaps the most important of all the skills a person can possess”.
Drucker on Communication

• Jonathan Swift defined good writing as “proper words in proper places”.
• Tone – neither overly formal or inappropriately casual
• Word choice – Mark Twain said “I never write `metropolis’; when I get paid the same for writing `city’
• Length – length means more work

What is communication?
• Latin verb – Communicare -“to make common”• Sanskrit - `sadharinikaran’• It is NOT to recite, deliver, speak, write or sermonize • All these fall short of `making common’ the flow of
ideas and feeling• Mere speaking/writing is a one-way activity• communication involves common(communal)
interests shared by all parties involved in the communication
![Page 13: Communication Architecture for Professional Success](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54fdbba24a7959ba458b4f56/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Basic Communication Model
• The sender encodes the message and selects a channel. The receiver decodes the message and uses feedback to respond.
