Introduction
Communication is the key to understanding any issue between two or more parties. An efficient leader must never stand in front of his people without the skill of effective communication. President Gerald Ford once said, Nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate effectively. This is because without the ability to communicate, a leader cannot effectively cast his vision and call his people to act on that vision. Just imagine how a group of people could make a decision if their leader cannot even direct the flow of conversations. You can be the leader of yourself and others in communication. If you know how to master your communication skills, people will start to like you. If people like you, you`re communicating your way to riches! A partner of a leading firm comes back to his office and says to his manager, "Did you get my message where I said, 'Ship the Enron documents to the Feds?" The manager goes white. "Oh My God! I thought you said rip the Enron documents to shreds!" That`s what
happens when there is an error in communication. How can you make sure it never happens? Communication is without doubt the most important skill required to live successfully. The world around you is competitive to say the least. Whether you`re at home, at the workplace, at a mall, or with friends, if you can communicate well, you`ve got things going your way. People do not just listen to a good communicator; they are ready to bend or unbend to the person`s needs. Not everybody is privileged to gain communication skills from the word go`.

Effective Ways Of Communicating
Communication can be defined as sharing of thoughts, information and intelligence. All the activities that a person performs when he wishes to convey his message to others are nothing but the ways to achieve communication. The effective ways of communicating are: clarity of message completeness of message individual`s facial expressions eye contact body postures and external physical appearance. In today`s modern era it may seem silly to see someone creating awareness of communication. Many of us pay less attention towards this but the fact remains that no matter what you are, if you cannot communicate properly, then no one will listen to you. One must therefore view this as an important asset to add to your personality. The procedure of communication is a dynamic concept and not stationary. It takes presence of mind and courage to face people with the power to prove what we want to convey through communication. A communication can be said to be successful only if we are able to convince people for wha
tever we wanted to convey. Depending on the environment and circumstances the effectiveness of speech changes. It is therefore a dynamic interaction both affecting and being affected by many variables. It is a basic social process required for the growth and development of individuals, groups, society and people.
