Effective oral communication is the ability to get your point across with your audience without the need to beat them over the head with facts. What is not said is often as important as what is said. The importance of effective written communication is in the documentation of the event for future reference, be it a contract, a historic tale or a journal essay. Summarizing information in a manner that allows effective knowledge to be jogged from memory at the association of a key word or phrase may be the hook that allows memory to embrace the idea presented. Direct action speaks louder than words and learning is impacted seriously by communication ability.

In the 'business' world, how you respond to a request for information can dictate the sequence of events that come down the pike. Competition is intense on the playing field of amerikan life, but between innings we should be able to catch a beer, trade notes and set about on tasks that productive for all involved. Cooperative association with people of complementary skills would mean that each one of us no longer has to reinvent wheels for himself. Effective communication enhances knowledge of who knows what and allows the proper pairings to use folks talents to build the value base. The teams of sport duke it out on the playing field; sometimes the rules get changed for the 'benefit' of the game. We need to turn off the game and work together to decide the focus of the effort - because the old game ain't working for the majority of us.
