Task 5.2: “Critical Thinking: The Soul of Communication”

 

Back then, I always thought that learning about communication and critical thinking was pointless. Not until recently, especially after reading the article and experiencing complications in the workplace due to miscommunications, I found that communication skills are necessary if you do not want to be on the wrong end of the stick.

Having proper communication in the workplace is vital to maintain good relations with colleagues and to also minimize miscommunications. In the article, miscommunication and lack of proper communication skills training caused massive losses to various businesses.

Beyond any doubt, we would not want to be responsible for losing millions just because we lack communication skills. So, it is crucial that we pick up communication and critical thinking skills before we are appointed as a leader in the workplace. That said, it is not just a ‘Touch and Go’ topic and only picking up the basics of communication skills. Trainings need to emphasize on the core of communication and how to fully utilize the critical thinking and communication skill.

If all these are fulfilled, then we can eliminate ambiguity in communications.
