Management is all about communication. Getting it right will ensure greater understanding by staff and an increase in their motivation and effectiveness.

However, management communication is not a one-way process. Your ability to understand what your staff are saying, both out loud and non-verbally will have a major impact on your ability to manage and motivate them effectively, as well as helping you to cut down on unproductive conflict.
