Managing Communication within Societal Organisations for Optimal Results
As human beings, we co-exist in societies that in themselves are often too large to manage which necessitates the forming of various organisations in which people function in order to live and achieve the benefits of life. The coming together of people in any organisation basically entails communication for the achievement of set personal and organisational goals against the back drop of which communication should be managed within organisations in a way that optimal results could be achieved. However, although the people in organisations may have been engaging in communication for a life time, they could still not have mastered it. Hence, this paper engages the descriptive design to highlight the concept of communication in organisations, the types of communication flow in organisations, the patterns of organisational communication, and some common pitfalls in organisational communication by managers alongside some proffered recommendations including the holding of regular meetings between management and staff and the regular giving of work status report by staff to management that could enhance healthy organisational communication for optimal results.
