Sometimes effective communication is not possible for some barriers in the communication process. These barriers can be complex organization structure and policies, perceptual difference, ambiguous and wrong word choice, inattention, wrong selection of medium, error of encoding and decoding messages, information overload, lack of communication skills etc. Miscommunication can cost a lot to the organization. A misunderstood message to a regulatory authority may pose a serious threat to an organization. But these barriers can be overcomed very easily by following some suggestions like active listening, proper choice of media etc. If they are followed properly we can make a communication real effective.
