9. The Principles of Effective Communication
Most important communication skills for effective communication:
• Good speaking skills
• Good listening skill
• Good writing skill
• Good reading skill
• Perfect body language
11. Active Listening
•Active listening means being focused entirely
on the person speaking, and not interrupting
or starting to fashion your own response
before someone has finished their sentence.
12. Non-judgemental
•Judging others is not a good basis for building
relationships. It is very easy to say that we
should be nonjudgemental, but an extremely
difficult principle to live by.
13. Value Difference
•Value the different contributions that people
you interact with bring to your relationships.
Their opinions may be different but not better
or worse.
14. No Assumptions
•People can interpret words they hear in a way
that was not intended by the person who said
them. If someone says one thing and another
takes those words to mean something
completely different, communication has not
occurred.
15. Authenticity
• Be truthful in your communications. We communicate in a
number of ways, not just by the words we use.
• Words have the least impact on our communication (around
7%).
• The manner in which we say things – tone, speed, etc (music
38%)
• Our body language (dance – 55%)

Ethical behaviour comes from having clear values and principles. These inform the choices we make: whether or not we communicate in specific situations, what we say and how we say it. Here are the five principles that could help you to communicate more ethically at work. As you read on, think about which principles you find helpful for your particular personality and situation.
1. Offering rewards. Seeks compliance in a positive way, by promising returns, rewards, or generally positive outcomes.
2. Threatening punishment. Seeks compliance in a negative way, by threatening negative consequences such as loss of privileges, grounding, or legal action.
3. Using expertise. Seeks compliance by implying that one person “knows better” than the other based on experience, age, education, or intelligence.
4. Liking. Seeks compliance by acting friendly and helpful to get the other person into a good mood before asking them to do something.
5. Debt. Seeks compliance by calling in past favors and indicating that one person “owes” the other.
6. Altruism. Seeks compliance by claiming that one person only wants “what is best” for the other and he or she is looking out for the other person’s “best interests.”
7. Esteem. Seeks compliance by claiming that other people will think more highly of the person if he or she complies or think less of the person if he or she does not comply.
-Relational needs include needs that help us maintain social bonds and interpersonal relationships. Communicating to fill our instrumental needs helps us function on many levels, but communicating for relational needs helps us achieve the social relating that is an essential part of being human. Communication meets our relational needs by giving us a tool through which to develop, maintain, and end relationships
- Identity needs include our need to present ourselves to others and be thought of in particular and desired ways. What adjectives would you use to describe yourself? Are you funny, smart, loyal, or quirky? Your answer isn’t just based on who you think you are, since much of how we think of ourselves is based on our communication with other people. Our identity changes as we progress through life, but communication is the primary means of establishing our identity and fulfilling our identity needs. Communication allows us to present ourselves to others in particular ways. Just as many companies, celebrities, and politicians create a public image, we desire to present different faces in different contexts.
