The Art Of Communication That Works (1)

Japanese proverb :
"One kind word can warm three winter months"

Human communication is routine since they were born. Starting from the baby's cries that the message contains the psychological and physiological needs, up to a message containing the complementary needs of adults now. Everything can not be separated from the process of delivering and receiving messages is referred to as communications.

Management books in the world often puts communication at the top as part of the performance of the company to achieve success! Success in business books that were strongly influenced by the way businesses communicate with the candidates / their customers. Here, the emphasis was on 'how' (the context) or how the communication is done, not what (content / content) are presented. That is, verbal language is not very powerful compared to the non-verbal language which emphasizes 'how' or 'style' of a communication is made.

On the other hand, to illustrate how communication is very important in contributing to the success of someone, there is a body of research presented in the Financial Planning Conference in Singapore with stunning results. These results place the human resources and communications at the top with the highest score of 3.7 (scale 4), followed by a recommendation from a client to someone else (3.6), educational background (3.3), has a permit / license advanced (3.2), continuing education (3.1) and the lowest terminated by the specialization (2.8). This really illustrates how communication greatly affects a person's success. In other words, communication is first and foremost a tool to elevate one's position.

Given the critical role of communication in one's success, with a brief to the first edition of this site, we can say that there are some factors to consider in memberhasilkan communication with others.

These factors are: understanding of the purpose of communication, types and styles of communicator and communicant, space and time.

Thus, the Japanese proverb listed at the beginning of this paper will be realized. Safely engage in the type and style of a person!
