One of the key challenges  that we face every day is communication. This subject has been an important one that requires all of our careful attention and it has been discovered to be a broad subject.  Many questions have arisen on the subject like how much communication? What to communicate? To whom? What method? And so on.

As we are moving forward toward in improving our communication here at E-MC Electric; we are finding that our language gaps is a key part of communication challenge. Specifically verbal language shot across the bow to each other on the job.

One of the main ingredients for verbal communication is understanding the definition. No matter what industry or walk of life; definition is very important. Not understanding the meaning of the words or phrases can impair communication. As an example, the meaning that we put on titles or names is can makes a difference. This is important in the learning process as well. We all have to face the same scenario where we can speak the language or dialogue and not knowing the definition gets us in trouble. Whether you are the one sending the message or receiving it, knowing the definition is crucial. The error of this can cause misunderstandings on the job and have financial impacts.

To better ourselves, we must be willing to learn, to teach, have the patience with those around us that are new. We have to ask the right question when we don't understand. As supervisors, ask key questions after giving instructions or directions to get feed back. Also follow up during the process to make sure you like the out come.

In my opinion, the short cut to being successful is learning from those that are very successful on what they do. 

It is not how we say it or the method we use. What is important is being understood.  After all IT'S IN THE DEFINITION.
