Instructional Unit 1, Task 5.2- Soul of Communication

-

In the excerpt from “Critical Thinking: The Soul of Effective Communication” (2014), having good communication skills are important in the workplace. Poor communication skills bring a loss to the organisation. Employee engagement and attrition are also connected to poor communication. 

Following this, the article mentioned that critical thinking is the most essential part of effective communication. I do agree with it. As stated in the article, if we process and understand the information before sharing it, the receiver will have a clearer idea. Critical thinking skills aid in problem-solving. As a future leader in my workplace, critical thinking skills will be able to help me think logically, present strong reasoning, and build a cohesive argument. With critical thinking skills and effective communication, uncertainties in communication can also be removed.


In addition, I think that it is equally important for the employees to have critical thinking skills as well. With critical thinking skills, they will be able to overcome work challenges and find ways to improve their job performance as well.

For example, when I was doing my Final Year Project (FYP) back in polytechnic, I would listen to my team members when they gave me feedback to improve on my work.  One of my communication weaknesses is that I have stage fright. Thus, I tend to be softer during presentations. Due to this weakn...
