Barriers to Communication
The document discusses various barriers to communication including semantic barriers due to words having different meanings or connotations. Physical and organizational barriers can also occur due to noise, long chains of command, or inappropriate communication medium. Socio-psychological barriers include attitudes, emotions, status issues, distrust, and resistance to change. Some ways to overcome these barriers are using familiar language, clarifying assumptions, being brief, improving organizational structures, keeping an open mind, and listening patiently.
