Organizational Communication - Final Research Paper

TOPIC FOR FINAL PAPER

Most organization have no idea that communication begins from leadership. How the leaders

communicate with the rest of the employees determines the kind of communication that will be

in that organization, (Krzyżanowski, 2018). This means that if the leaders are good in

communication then the employees will be more involved in whatever is happening in the

organization more which will encourage creativity and innovation. This is the case because,

when employees are employed, they continue with the culture that they see from others who

behave according to how leaders show them.

For this reason, leaders are the ones who should take it upon themselves to make

communication a leadership function. Through constant informing them what is happening in the

organization and including them when big decisions are being made the effective communication

will be established, (Canary, & Taylor, 2017). When leaders do not lead in effective

communication the employees are tied to not take part in a lot of things which is why most

organizations fail. Normally, although the leaders are the ones in charge of decision making, the

employees are the ones who do most interactions with clients and other people.

This means that they are normally in a better position to know what would be and would

not be good for the company. However, if their leaders have shown them that it is not in their

position to come up with ideas or if their leaders have not created an effective communication

channel, there is no way the employees can share these ideas with them. This becomes big loss to

the company simply because of communication not being taken as a leadership function.
