Using effective communication skills is important to relationships and to succeed at work. 16 Here are a few: Preventing misunderstandings. When you clearly communicate your wants, your needs, and your intentions, there will be no misunderstanding. Many of our arguments and disagreements occur — simply because one of us did not communicate clearly. Another example of the importance of communication can be seen in the medical field. When a doctor tells a patient his diagnosis and gives instructions for care and medicine, it is critical that the patient understands exactly what the doctor intends to communicate. 17 Strengthen relationships. We get to know each other (either in business or personally) by talking and listening. 18 People like people they know. In business, the more personable business person, who showed an interest in his customer, wins the sale-every time-over the business person who is aloof and shows no interests in the customer, whatsoever! 19 Talking about your problem and stresses actually helps to relieve the stress and anxiety. You feel as if some of the burden has been lifted from you when a friend listens and shows that she cares. The importance of Communication Skill becomes obvious when you think of the many times that you communicate with someone during a single day. 20 . 1. 16 A: Taking the time to improve our interpersonal skills is definitely worth the effort!
