Thesis statement Communication problems are some of the commonly known hindrances to the success of most organizations and therefore, they must be addressed effectively.

Analysis of the audience

It consists of business managers for small, and large and public and private firms. Business managers are responsible for planning and duties delegation in the firm. They also keep the firm’s financial records and are therefore aware of any progress or stagnation in the business. Managers should therefore have relevant skills in order to conduct management tasks well. Therefore, education qualifications are a prerequisite to getting a position in the management of any large firm (Guffey & Loewy, 2011). Communication effectiveness should be the concern of business managers. Communication effectiveness is what determines an organization's success by a great deal. Effective communication helps by reducing the turnover of employees, increasing production, and faster goal achievement. Lack of effective communication often costs the firm in terms of inefficiency in duty delegation, negatively affecting production and decreasing turnover rates. With effective communication, productivity increases due to the availability of specific calls to action. With communication problems, firms can lose important clients and customers, leading to a decline in sales volume and profitability. Managers need to develop tools for communication so that they can identify communication needs faster (Luecke, 2004).

Analysis of the audience (continued)

Most of my audience will consist of business managers who work for both small and large, public and private organizations. These managers share common characteristics: they are tasked with planning and delegating functions, supervising progress, and maintaining organizational records like financial statements. To perform these roles effectively, managers require skills and experience. For small businesses, tertiary education in management is necessary, while large organizations often demand a university degree in the relevant field (Guffey & Loewy, 2011). Business managers should prioritize communication, as it is central to business success. Effective communication increases efficiency by reducing turnover, boosting production, and facilitating goal achievement. Identifying and resolving communication problems can enhance organizational success by preventing misconceptions, inefficiencies, and poor customer relations. Managers must understand all communication barriers to facilitate smooth information flow, which ultimately improves productivity (Luecke, 2004).

Purpose of the presentation

This presentation aims to address workplace communication issues by emphasizing their importance. Good information flow depends on understanding communication barriers and how to address them. Poor communication delays project completion and hinders organizational progress. By understanding communication dynamics, managers can better direct and facilitate information flow (Ober, 2009). The main goal is to help business managers identify communication problems in their workplaces and develop strategies to resolve them. Recognizing and removing barriers to communication ensures messages are correctly transmitted from sender to receiver, avoiding misunderstandings that can prevent project completion and organizational efficiency. Effective communication tools enable managers to identify organizational needs for better information management (Ober, 2009).

Purpose of the presentation (continued)

Business managers should also improve their understanding of customers and learn effective communication techniques. Poor listening skills, lack of trust, and inadequate customer engagement diminish communication efficacy. Managers need to listen attentively to customer needs, leverage appropriate tone and voice, and build trust to facilitate clear exchanges. A key aim is to help managers identify internal and external communication barriers and develop practical solutions to enhance overall organizational communication. This understanding will lead to better stakeholder engagement, increased efficiency, and improved organizational outcomes (Luecke, 2004).

Conclusion

Most business failures are attributed to communication issues and misunderstandings. Research from Harvard University indicates that 75% of organizations suffer from subpar communication channels, which adversely affect performance and productivity. Effective and clear communication is essential for achieving organizational goals and maintaining competitive advantage. Organizations must prioritize removing communication barriers, such as using inappropriate channels or poor listening skills, to foster a culture of openness and information sharing. Leaders and managers should continually evaluate their communication strategies, ensure messages are clear and targeted, and implement effective tools and training to promote better understanding (Guffey & Loewy, 2011; Luecke, 2004; Ober, 2009). Addressing these issues not only enhances productivity but also strengthens customer relationships and overall organizational longevity.
