1 Noise and Distraction

Noise and distraction are physical factors that can interfere with the clarity and accuracy of your messages. For example, if you work in a busy call center, you may have difficulty hearing or understanding your customers or co-workers. To reduce noise and distraction, you can use headphones, mute your microphone when not speaking, adjust the volume and tone of your voice, and choose a quiet and comfortable place to communicate.

2 Jargon and Terminology

Jargon and terminology are specialized words or phrases that are used by a specific group or profession. For example, if you work in IT service operations, you may use acronyms like SLA, KPI, or CRM. While jargon and terminology can be useful for communicating with experts, they can also confuse or alienate people who are not familiar with them. To avoid jargon and terminology barriers, you can explain or define any technical terms, use simple and clear language, and avoid unnecessary abbreviations or slang.

3 Cultural and Linguistic Differences

Cultural and linguistic differences are the variations in values, beliefs, norms, and languages among different groups of people. For example, if you work in a global service operation, you may encounter customers or suppliers from different countries or regions. While cultural and linguistic differences can enrich your communication, they can also cause misunderstandings or conflicts. To overcome cultural and linguistic differences, you can respect and appreciate diversity, learn some basic words or phrases in other languages, use gestures and visual aids, and ask for feedback or clarification.

4 Emotions and Attitudes

Emotions and attitudes are the feelings and opinions that affect how you communicate and how others perceive you. For example, if you work in a customer service operation, you may deal with angry or frustrated customers or co-workers. While emotions and attitudes can express your personality and mood, they can also distort or block your messages. To manage emotions and attitudes, you can be empathetic and respectful, control your tone and body language, avoid personal attacks or criticism, and seek positive outcomes.

Knowing how to control your emotions and attitude in the working environment can benefit with the communication within a team. Knowing to put your personal thoughts to the side and actually be open to listening and to work with others. This will create a successful and less stressful working environment. A lot of leaders don’t know how to master this. Not knowing how to communicate with your team members can make the whole job an undesirable place to be around. You can loose great candidates.

5 Assumptions and Biases

Assumptions and biases are the preconceived ideas or judgments that influence how you interpret or respond to information. For example, if you work in a service operation, you may assume that your customers or colleagues have the same needs, preferences, or knowledge as you. While assumptions and biases can simplify your communication, they can also lead to errors or miscommunication. To challenge assumptions and biases, you can ask open-ended questions, listen actively, acknowledge different perspectives, and verify facts and data.

La Comunicación es una ciencia imprescindible para lograr los objetivos deseados en todo los ámbitos. Experiencias vividas: Falta de preparación de algunos colegas, directivos que basan su discurso en una comunicación vertical descendente sin fed back, suposiciones de algunos colegas en ocasiones, a la hora de realizar coordinaciones, inadecuada contratación, contradicciones entre departamentos, etc. Para ello se debe preparar a la empresa en cuanto a los objetivos de esta (misión, visión) realizar una Auditoría de Imagen que nos aporte una resultado 360 del público interno. Muy buen tema este para escribir porque, en no pocas empresas, una comunicación deficiente es igual a: resultado con grietas y deficiencias.

6 Lack of Feedback

Lack of feedback is the absence or delay of responses or reactions from your communication partners. For example, if you work in a service operation, you may not receive any feedback from your customers or managers on your performance or satisfaction. While lack of feedback can save you time and effort, it can also prevent you from improving or resolving issues. To encourage feedback, you can ask for opinions or suggestions, provide constructive feedback, use multiple channels of communication, and follow up on actions or outcomes.
