Communication plays a vital role in professional and personal settings. However, the form of
communication (various) and the quality of communication (effective) are different. For exam
purposes, it is important to distinguish the two and understand remedies for overcoming
communication barriers.
2. Various Communication

non-verbal, written, formal, informal, gestures, etc.

Limitations: Can lead to confusion or misinterpretation if not conveyed clearly.

the office and routines through scattered, informal talk and gestures. Although multiple forms were
used, he remained confused and irritated.

appropriately acted upon.
