A manager on a communication course led by one of the authors realized that his conversations with his staff were far more limited than was healthy. He had somehow found himself trapped by the organizational culture and structures that deliberately separated managers from the people they managed. He saw himself as an “open door” manager, approachable and friendly, but was puzzled why people rarely came to him — and why when he initiated conversations with them they were often initially guarded and even suspicious. He guessed it must just be that “manager-staff gulf” The conversations during the course highlighted the fact that something as mundane as the physical location of his office was actually influencing the way he was perceived and how approachable he was. The office he had inherited when he became the manager was at the back of the work area, so staff visiting from other offices or sites, particularly, had to negotiate all the other workstations and then his assistants before actually reaching him, way at the back in his spacious and private area. When he came back for a follow-up workshop a month later, he reported that he had moved his office further towards the front entry so that he was more visible and accessible

BARRIERS TO COMMUNICATION

Profile image of Nkosilamandla Kunene

2020, Communication Skills

The essence of this paper is to discuss the undertones of the assertion by Terry Eagleton which states: "there are so many potential obstacles to communication, that it is a miracle that communication takes place." The paper studies the assertion and goes on to highlight the key and common barriers to communication.

As a manager, we need to know the different aspects of communication in order to communicate effectively and efficiently. And at this moment, barriers of communication will occur. Barriers of communication are obstacles that affects in the workplace from exchanging ideas and thoughts. By eliminating those barriers, it helps us to prevent misunderstanding. Put it in a simple way, barriers are equivalent to “Noise” (Danny, 2009). The objective of this report aims to achieve the following targets: 1. To scrutinize five types of communication barriers that will distort the message delivery process. 2. To elicit three ways how managers can improve their communication skills.

International Virtual Symposium: Research, Industry & Community Engagement (RICE)

Noor Hanim Rahmat, (Professor, Dr)

The topic of communication is a universal topic across disciplines, across cultures and even across languages. According to Wang, Aenis, & Siew, (2019), studies in communication are constantly being done by different disciplines or even to compare across discipline. Researchers have also looked at effective communication by different cultures and even languages. It seems apparent that communication skills are universal and knowing factors to promote effective communication is vital in organizations. Similarly, Bergman Dellve and Skakgert (2016) assert that communication promotes tolerance and minimize conflicts. Knowing how and what to say at different situations is a skill many should master in order to minimize misunderstanding. Poole (2016) states that communication is a process that the sender and receiver masters. Failure to master the communication process leads to the emergence of barriers.

NPTEL: Communication Skills Module: 2 Lecture: 1 T. Ravichandran Barriers to Communication Welcome back to NPTEL's course on communication skills! In the first introductory module and the very first lecture we looked at the introductory aspects of communication skills. We looked at the need for communication; more specifically, we looked at the need for effective communication. We discussed the modalities of communication and strategies to make our communication very effective. We also observed that there are some barriers which will actually prevent you to make your communication very effective. In this module, Module II: Lecture 1, we will focus on the Barriers to Communication. Before I start talking to you about the Barriers to Communication, once again let us recall, why communication skills are very important.

Our thesis is that communication has several sources. Some may be considered as main sources or constitutive sources from which communication springs, and others may be considered as secondary or complementary sources of communication. We can thus acknowledge eight main sources of communication: rhetoric, persuasion, psychology, sociology, anthropology, semiotics, linguistics and political science. Rhetoric is the first and oldest discipline which studied certain communication phenomena; rhetoric has outlined a proto-object of communication. Sociology is the most powerful source of communication methodology: sociology has supplied most of the theories and methods that have led to the discipline of communication growing autonomously. We assert that secondary sources of communication are: philosophy, ethics, pragmatics, mathematics, cybernetics and ecology.
