Effective communication is key in any professional setting. Speaking too informally, using slang, or failing to articulate one’s ideas clearly can make a person seem unprofessional. It is often said that these days, having a high emotional quotient is more important than having a high intelligence quotient at the workplace and rightly so. Knowing what to say and when, with the right choice of words and tone, is very important for clear and effective communication at the workplace. This makes you appear more professional, thus improving your chances of being taken seriously– all of which will contribute to your success. Also, remember that good communication is not only about speaking but also about active listening.
