The importance of effective communication skills

Effective communication skills are important because of the positive impact it has on the interpersonal relationship and character development of a person.

Communication is part and parcel of our daily life as we get to meet people from all walks of life. However, should communication breakdown, this could lead to misunderstandings. If no appropriate actions had been taken to clear up these misunderstandings, interpersonal relationship would be jeopardised. Since these unnecessary misunderstandings are rooted from poor communication skills, the importance of effective communication skills becomes more apparent.

In addition, how well a person can communicate is likely to influence his character development. People who are able to communicate effectively are usually more confident and are able to interact with others at ease. As such, they are usually able to create a good and deep impression on the others and are also capable of fostering stronger ties as compared to those who are unable to communicate effectively. It is important to have good interpersonal relationship so as to ensure a harmonious work environment and to enhance work efficiency. Furthermore, without effective communication skills, great ideas cannot be brought across and shared with others.

All in all, I hope that I have shed some light on this issue regarding the importance of effective communication skills and I believe that everyone should put in more practice and make a conscientious effort to master this skill.
