What is Effective Communication?

Effective communication is a communication method that enables messages to be conveyed accurately and effectively. Effective communication improves mutual understanding, provides a more solid foundation for relationships and minimizes misunderstandings that may arise from human nature. Using effective communication skills not only helps us to succeed in our personal and professional relationships, but also plays a major role in resolving conflicts.

Communication is a process in which managers are equally involved. Because it is possible to perceive many actions such as "human relations", "conflict", "public relations", "motivation", "ceremony", "meeting", "welcome", "farewell" that managers are constantly faced with within the concept of communication.

We can define communication as the process of transferring and communicating orders, information, thoughts, explanations and problems from individual to individual or from group to group. In short, communication is an interaction process that aims to establish relationships between individuals, groups and organizations.

It is possible to recognize a person who uses effective communication methods by looking at their body language and words. Let's examine in detail what we should pay attention to:

• If the other person speaks calmly with a relaxed tone of voice,
• If you feel he/she is being sincere rather than artificially polite, He is not afraid to make eye contact and does not avert his eyes,
• If he manages to control his excitement, He/she is careful in his/her word choice and sentences,
• If he/she feels that he/she knows the subject he/she is talking about,
• If you feel that you learn something from that person while they are talking,
• If his/her speech is fluent and engaging rather than monotonous, Does he/she listen to others as patiently as he/she speaks?
• If he/she uses gestures and facial expressions adequately and without exaggeration, We can understand that the other person has mastered and successfully used effective communication techniques.

By applying them in everyday life, we can communicate much more effectively with the people around us and solve our problems more easily and without fraying.
