Organizational Communication Styles

Organizational Communication Styles Your Name Subject and Section Professor’s Name September 10, 2019               Communication is a vital resource for the success of any organization. It allows a group of seemingly different individuals to plan, decide, and act like a single organism pursuing the same goal CITATION Ric191 \l 1033 (Richards, 2019). However, while communicating is easy, establishing effective communication is not. Effective communication styles foster an efficient, effective, and goal-oriented way of disseminating and receiving information within an organization. Accordingly, this paper would discuss some of the communication strategies being utilized in our workplace.

This means that the flow of information does not only happen from top to bottom, but also from the bottom going up. Accordingly, in the workplace where I was working, the use of this two-way aspect helps our department to diversify ideas, connect management with operations, and even build a more meaningful relationship within the workplace.  On the other hand, an informal communication style helps create better relationships between employees and the management itself. An informal style happens when there are no strict rules as to how employees or members should talk to between one. In other words, this focuses on the importance of promoting dialogues and conversation between each stakeholder. Going back to our department’s case, it could be seen that an informal type of conversation must still be respectful and informative towards the audience. This is true even for emails or regular chats that we receive in the group.          ...
