Penulisan 4 Types of Business Communications

As a business leader, you know that communication is a key part of your company's success. The methods you use to communicate include personal interactions, telephone conversations, text messaging and other more traditional forms of written correspondence. There are different types of business communication to consider that may adjust your tone or content.

1.     Internal, Upward Communication

This type of business communication is anything that comes from a subordinate to a manager or an individual up the organizational hierarchy. Leaders need information to flow upwards to have a true pulse on the operations of the company. Most communication that flows upward is based on systematic forms, reports, surveys, templates and other resources to help employees provide necessary and complete information. For example, a sales report might include the total number of pitches, along with the actual sales. It may also ask for feedback such as a summary of problems or successes that management would like to track.

2.     Internal, Downward Communication

This is any type of communication that comes from a superior to one or more subordinates. Communication might be in the form of a letter, a memo or a verbal directive. Leaders should keep communication professional and clear with subordinates. For example, a memo regarding a new operations procedure might involve safety requirements and new regulations. There should be no room for interpretation of the safety requirements; the language should concisely explain exactly what needs to happen.

3.     Internal, Lateral Communication

Lateral communication is the talking, messaging and emailing among co-workers in the office. This might be cross-department communication or just internal department dealings. An example of a scenario involving cross-department communication is where the fulfillment manager has a question about a special order, and is requesting clarification from the sales representative via an email or office messaging system. Those in the same department might communicate to provide updates on status reports and coordinate schedules. Co-workers should always be encouraged to communicate in a respectful and professional tone when at work.

4.     External Communication

External communication is any communication that leaves the office and deals with customers, prospects, vendors or partners. It could also involve regulatory agencies or city offices. Sales presentations or marketing letters need to be exciting to generate interest from the customer but they also need to be factually based. When corresponding to outside entities for partnerships or other business administration needs, state the purpose and be concise in communication, whether oral or written. Respect people's time by getting to the point and stating your request.

Penulisan 3 Ways to Improve Business Communication Skills

Articles on business communication skills often address the importance of being assertive in the workplace. In some cases, however, they don’t discuss the “hidden” skills that are essential for strong communication, like the ability to view the world from someone else’s point of view. When you’re equipped with a wide array of communication skills, you’ll be poised to succeed in all realms of business.

 Here are the six ways to improve business communication skills:

1.     Practice good office politics.

Participating in office politics is essential, and that’s not a bad thing. Done well, it means influencing company culture and building your influence. Showing loyalty to your boss, honing strong relationships with allies, and networking with different circles of people in your organization are all examples of participating well in office politics. It all comes down to being respected and noticed by others, and showing respect and appreciation in turn, in order to grow your influence with them.

2.     Communicate across functions.

Strong communications across different organizational areas is essential for maximizing productivity. Your team isn’t going it alone—you depend on all the other teams in your organization, and if you’re not communicating closely, your relationships, processes, and outcomes are suffering. Get to know the people in other areas of the organization, and become a liaison between these different areas of business to improve the flow of communication. Along with members of these other teams, work to define your joint goals and establish how to coordinate your efforts.

3.     Learn to understand different working styles and personalities.

Learning how others think and work is an essential part of leadership. During one-on-one sessions with people you manage, ask them how they learn and work best. Some employees might appreciate receiving an email about an important topic the day before a meeting, rather than being asked their opinion on the spot, for instance. Navigating these differences is a vital task of a leader, and it will greatly improve the effectiveness of the team.

4.     Become a pro at conflict resolution.

Conflict resolution may not be fun, but that’s why it’s such an in-demand skill. Learn to master conflicts by addressing their root causes, helping everyone to feel heard, and asking for solutions from everyone who’s invested in the issue. As you guide both parties toward compromise, you’ll gain greater respect and trust from them both, enhancing your relationships and reputation in turn.

5.     Be assertive yet humble.

Assertiveness is one of those obvious business skills that articles on communication in the workplace tend to tout, and it’s definitely an important quality of a leader. However, the strongest leaders balance assertiveness with vulnerability. They know how to ask for feedback on their performance, be transparent about issues that affect everyone, and gain the trust of others by putting them at ease.

6.     Use virtual communication effectively.

Resisting using virtual communication will prove a major hindrance in today’s workplace. Virtual communication offers a way of making the playing field more equitable for people who may have trouble physically getting to work for long hours each day, like parents of young children. It also makes working with contract staff more viable over long distances. Plus, job training and coaching can often be done via virtual communication for a lower cost. Get comfortable with virtual communication, and many doors will open.
