Communication plays a big role in our daily lives. It is the process through which
information is transferred from the sender to the receiver via a given medium. In order to
operate at an efficient level, all organizations need effective communication. However,
there are various challenges that might be encountered in the process. If at all we wish
to achieve effective communication, there is a need to convey information in a clear and
unambiguous manner. This means that there should be no distortion of messages. On
the other hand, if your message is not well received then you are facing a barrier to
effective communication.
