Abstract:

Communication is a basic and indispensible aspect of human and organizational life. Good communication enables people, individuals and organizations to properly convey their thoughts, knowledge, ideas or messages effectively to others with a view to obtaining the desired response and thereby achieving agreed goals.  Effective communication is as important in the family or corporate organization as it is in any school system. On the contrary, lack of effective communication can create poor understanding of intentions and, therefore, can create a barrier in achieving objectives. Effective communication therefore is communication that is clearly and successfully delivered, received and understood. It is the glue that helps you fosters our connections with and to others improves teamwork, decision making and problem solving. Learning the skills of effective communication can help one communicate even negative or difficult messages without creating conflicts or destroying trust within the system.  This paper looks at communication from an organizational point of view particularly in relation to school management. Invariably, it can be stated that a direct relationship exists between effective communication and a successful management in a school system.
