Effective communication skills are
important for me and there could be several following reasons.
First, my schoolmates come from different
corners of the world. And as an international undergraduate in such a multi-cultural
environment, it requires me to enhance communication skills and learn new ways
to get along well with new friends of various backgrounds. To be more precise,
effective communication skills are significant in dealing with expected and
unexpected situations when my group needs to finish an assignment in time. This
kind of internal communicating is also essential for the team integrity and cohesiveness.
Nowadays, when companies are competing with each other, the winners always have
a strong culture within them and it can be seen as a sign of high cohesiveness.
Second, when a team is selling their ideas,
the importance of effective communication arises. Based on the first point,
they need to make themselves understood, and even better, remembered by the
customers. So, as a potential team member, it is my responsibility to be a good
listener as well as a good speaker. Every team member is like a necessary gear
for the whole team’s run. There is no excuse for me to stop when everyone is
pursuing a bigger win.
Third, effective communication skills can
help to reduce the risk and to avoid potential threats. One example is that in
the future we may encounter situations where the every single word we use
counts. Negotiation needs quite a high standard of this and the real world is
full of negotiations. Make no mistake, a good command of effective
communication skills will win you more chance.
These are the most representative reasons
that I picked up and it is nonsense if we just know this, we need to make a
action.
