Cooperation is the key to effective communication

Cooperation is the key to effective communication Why is communication so important? It is important because it is the mortar that holds together our society. Without the ability to communicate, we would not be able to create a civil society that provides order and stability to improve the quality of our lives. But what really is effective communication? Much has been studied and written on this topic, but so far, the ability to really be able to communicate effectively is likely to depend on factors difficult to repeat: the talent, the emotion, the desire to communicate psychological, and many others? Subjective? factors. With all these limitations in mind, it is very difficult to find an objective and rational or formula in order to communicate with objectivity. Rules of etiquette have developed over the centuries to facilitate non-violence and civil communication between people. These rules have been shown to be effective if certain conditions can be achieved: sophisticated education of the people, an advanced economic system to provide enough high-paying jobs and a social security system to protect the weakest in society. If these? Outside? conditions can be met, the communication between people is much more effective because people will be able to control their emotions and anger (? anger?). If all these conditions are met, people will experience the right conditions for effective communication. However, effective communication is just one option or an option that people can choose. Other communication options available remain ineffective. Two aspects are very important in communication: self-interest and the interest of others. The three possibilities of interaction that are not effective and can be identified as: ignorance, submission and domination. Only one mode of communication can be identified as effective cooperation.What are the characteristics of cooperation? When people communicate in cooperation are really trying to find a consensus on the basis of a relationship of equality. They are themselves engaged in a communication / interaction is symmetrical. Ineffectiveness of the two modes of communication, dominance and submission, are caused by asymmetry.Another important factor is confidence. Without trust, we can not expect fruitful collaboration or cooperation. The trust is based on the ability of both parties to demonstrate the integrity and reliability. How can you trust the other person is not telling the truth (not all) and / or maintenance of its network of words (not reliable)? The last criterion is crucial for effective communication, the action is directed. Communication is a process of exchange of words. However, if words have meaning and not to improve something, it becomes an empty ritual. This is happening at the moment, when the ignorant mode of communication is happening. Both sides are not really interested in other, worse yet, are not interested in themselves.The above explanation may seem obvious, but says nothing about the effective communication skills a must have in order to facilitate presentation of results, optimal . Communication is a dynamic process. Unfortunately, the process can be stopped before it really can go wrong begins.The following: 1. Deciding what to say in the process of communication. Many people make the mistake of trying to convey everything you know about a topic. Unfortunately, when a message   is too overloaded with information, it is difficult to absorb. To reach his point of deciding what to include and what to leave out, how to provide the details, and what followed. If you try to explain something, without giving adequate background receiver, will confusion.2. Creating an effective message is difficult if you do not know how to use. This could be caused by a lack of familiarity with the other person (s). What you need to know something of prejudice, education, age, condition and style of your receiver, in order to create an effective message. Decisions on content, organization, style and tone of the message depends at least to some extent the relationship between you and the other person (s). If you do not know the other person (s) will be forced to make decisions dark.3. Lack of experience in speech to prevent a person to develop effective messages. Some people have limited education, lack of skills, limited vocabulary, I am uncertain about the grammar, are afraid to communicate, and lack of experience in the use of language. These problems can be solved by way of communication, the communication involved in training programs, to read a lot of books on self-help, be part of an association or organization to practice the skills of communication: a fine for lack communication skills .
