Reaction to the Soul of Communication

According to the article, good critical thinking enables rational thinking, sound reasoning, and coherent arguments. This enables clarity of thought, and effective communication starts with a clear thought process. I agree with the mentioned points as critical thinking helps us to understand the topic better, the importance and link between arguments and ideas, and come up with an effective solution.

 

As stated in the article, “Poor communication has been attributed to poor employee engagement and attrition.”. I have seen an example of poor employee engagement when one of my colleagues at a previous workplace sent out an email with typos and errors. The message in the email was vague as well and led to miscommunication.

 

It was mentioned that the estimated cost of poor communication in the US and UK is revealed to be estimated at US$37 billion dollars, and US$75 million is at risk for every US$1 billion spent on a project due to bad communication. This can happen when there is a lack of focus. For example, meetings might be taking up more time as participants are not communicating effectively within the allocated time frame, causing more meetings to occur due to little being achieved within each meeting.
