Overcoming Communication Barriers

Effective communication involves clearly exchanging ideas between a sender and receiver. There are various barriers that can interfere with effective communication, including physical, linguistic, interpersonal, organizational, and cultural barriers. Physical barriers refer to environmental factors, while linguistic barriers involve difficulties with language. Interpersonal barriers occur when messages are misunderstood, and organizational barriers stem from formal hierarchies. Cultural barriers result from differences in customs between cultures. To overcome these barriers, simple language should be used without assumptions, communication done in person when possible, and visuals and translators utilized while being respectful of other opinions.

Organisations are designed on the basis of formal


hierarchical structures that follow performance
standards, rules and regulations, procedures, policies,
behavioural norms, etc. All these affect the free flow
of communication in organisations and therefore,
need to be suitably managed.

cultural background, this leads to difference in opinions
