Two years ago, I was appointed as the chairperson of the NUS Cue Sports Sub Club. My responsibilities involve deciding about training venues and dates, organizing of competitions, committee meeting, etc. Of course the most important part of my job is to give everyone in my committee a fair share of workload. There was some misunderstanding that happened during this one year when I was in-charge of the club.
Matriculation fair was the first event that I had to handle. Cue Sports was given a booth to set up at the Matriculation Fair to promote the CCA to the freshmen and get them to sign up for it. I will have to decide on the setting up of the booth and dedicate equal amount of commitment to each committee as manpower is needed to be station at the booth. The task of dedicating manpower was a difficult one. Some of my committees voiced that they will not be free during that period as they are having some camps, overseas trips, etc during our meeting. Therefore, I only dedicated the task to those who are able to help out. I ended having to be at the booth for all the four days which the Matriculation Fair was held. My good friend who was in the committee had to come along to help me out as the rest was only able to help out like half a day out of the four days. My good friend ended up complaining to me that the rest of the committee is too slack. I assured him that I will make sure that the rest of the committee will do their part once the training sessions begin. But when the training sessions begin, the same group of people did not help out as they have lessons which clashes with the training session. They ended up quarreling over it in our yahoo groups’ forums. At that point, I did not know what to do to help.What will you do???

Let’s consider our day to day activities. Imagine going to the supermarket on a Sunday morning, communication is needed when we are paying for the groceries, looking for the fruits that we want, etc. Another example will be going for a haircut at your favourite hair saloon. Communication is needed as you need to be able to convey what type of haircut you want to have to the hair stylist.

Now take a look at communication in our workplace. Our boss often has to task us with some projects and we have to meet his requests and requirements. Therefore our boss has to communicate with us to ensure that we understood his requests. In short, Effective communication in workplace will bring about an increase in our performance and efficiency. In our workplace, our boss will usually ask for our opinion or ideas on certain issues. So we need to be able share it with them. But no matter how brilliant and invaluable your idea, it is worthless unless you can share it with others. For this reason, effective communication is crucial.

Another aspect of communication will be in business. We need effective communication to enhance our communication, provides us a better chance to convince and negotiate deals. This will improve our working capacity and make us a better manager.

Relationship is another aspect which I feel that effective communication is important to determine its success. We can’t have a relationship without communicating with that someone. Our thoughts has to be expressed correctly and convey the way we wanted it across to that someone so that there will be no any misunderstanding which will results in fights or anger.

Thus Effective communication is very important as it plays a majority part in our life!!!
