Here's how you can develop and sustain effective communication with your boss.

It is important to know their way of communication expecially when you are working with founders of company. Our each word needs to be positive and kind of a suggestion which allows them to think on it.

One way to establish effective communication is to listen carefully, learn proactively, frequently ask for feedback, and accept feedback (whether it is positive or negative). Communication is an art; it takes time to learn and master it. However, clarity, conciseness, and empathy are key to improving it.

Active listening is of utmost importance in an effective communication process. If you are to get across as someone ingenious, it is best that you listen to your boss all-ears. Otherwise you might fail to understand their point and end up doing the wrong thing which might increase the risk of you coming off as someone who doesn't know what they are doing. To avoid this, you should never shy away from asking clarifying questions, regardless of being perceived as too talkative. To establish a stone-cut communication, attention, feedback and understanding should be prioritized. This ensures that the intentions of both parties are met and no effort goes in vain.

In today's what's app world where there are lots groups and sub groups and the length of voice messages are merely 30 seconds, it's important to listen carefully twice atleast before responding to it.

When we talk to children, we opt for simpler sentences and words. This stems from the need to be understood by someone who might not be on the same level as you. In communication, our primary aim is either to spread information or to influence someone in a specific way to get an action done. This entails speaking in the same mode and on the same frequency. Speaking with a baby or with a boss is similar when you know how to approach the problem at hand. Whether your boss prefers fancy words or simpler ones doesn't matter; you should analyze them as you would a baby and pick the right approach to get the task done.

People on top needs to be provided with feedback. They may not respond to it, but it will influence their thinking and can be reflected in their communication. Moreover, that's the way to connect with the reality.

Expecially founders cum directors / decision makers of companies are emotionally attached to their brands or companies. Any negative feedback from customers or from someone outside can hurt their sentiments. It's not easy to handle when such scenarios happens. We will have to have a more controlled emotion and convince them with proper justification. Still they may not agree to it. Then we will have to leave it there and not involve into an argument.

Communication is a game of body language and oratory. I remember coming across as goofy to my potential colleagues because of my wording or gestures. To avoid seeming cloud-headed or blockheaded, one must ensure integrity between body language and spoken words. Establishing this integrity will not only earn you bonus social points but also allow you to expand your professional network and secure better job opportunities. I improved my diction and body language by constantly following and analyzing feedback from others' reactions to my actions. With this new understanding, I was able to act more professionally and grow exponentially. Thanks to the magic touch of communication skills. :)

Communications are tricky, particularly if you and the other person have different approaches to communication. I pride myself on being direct and without guile or subterfuge, but this is not always the case with the people I have worked for, and it can blow up in your face when confronted with someone who does not communicate the same way as you. Experience has taught me not to take what people in general (including bosses) say at face value; I have had bosses who claim to be open to new ideas, improvements, or suggestions, and are all smiles when you share them, but become hostile after and make the workplace toxic (apparently it is not wise to tell your boss they plagiarised in a chapter they wrote about avoiding plagiarism). Be aware.

Communication is a matter to be handled meticulously. You don't want to sound too vehement in a context where calmness would be better or sound childish in a professional environment. To strike the right balance, it is best to develop critical reasoning so as not to mix different situations and apply the wrong formulae. Communication is an active, living entity that you must nurture within the framework of interaction. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to problems and dilemmas. Drawing from your authentic self to produce words and gestures is the only way to make communication an organic thing that lives and evolves. This requires critical thinking, self-awareness, eloquence, and grace.
