Communication is the single most important factor in successful teamwork. Facilitating communication does not mean holding meetings all the time. Instead it means setting an example by remaining open to suggestions and concerns, by asking questions and offering help, and by doing everything you can to avoid confusion in your own communication.

 

Within communication strategies, internal communication is often overlooked, yet it is

vitally important. It is the communication that relates directly to the foundation of your organisation: the people – staff, management and volunteers – that give your organisation its ability to function. Developing so und internal communication processes and evaluating these processes on a regular basis is the same as making sure your car runs smoothly and is serviced regularly. If the many different pieces of your car do not fit smoothly together, you will not get where you are going very quickly, if you get there at all. Similarly, if the people that make up your organisation do not work together effectively, your organisation will not achieve its objectives as fast, if at all. An internal communication strategy is the key to ensuring a cohesive organisation focused on achieving its goals and objectives.
