Executives and managers are involved in meetings, presentations, interviews, conferences, telephone conversations, memos or emails, participating in all sorts of communications methods to exchange the necessary information. In fact, when one examines an organization, it can be easily seen that many examples of verbal and nonverbal behavior exist. Some communication specialists believe that these and almost all other forms of behavior are really means of communication and conversely that all forms of communication reflect the behavior of individuals. But, is this the case? Well, if nothing else, the fact remains that in every organization, communication occurs constantly.
People who are concerned with human communication do not focus on precisely what one says or writes, but on how the persons involved perceive and translate the message they send and receive. Experts working in the behavioral sciences and related areas have contributed a great deal in recent years to the field of communication. For example, valuable work on theories of human communication has been done by psychiatrist Jurgen Ruesch. Dr. Ruesch identifies various communication networks as follows: – The intrapersonal network is entirely within the individual and involves thinking and feeling. – The interpersonal communication network links two or more persons. – The group interaction network links groups of people. Because of the number of people involved, it is usually difficult to achieve effective communication with everybody. – The final network is cultural. Here there is no specific originator or receiver of the message. Certain symbols in our society-cars, clothing, homes, morals, and the like-are part of out cultural network. It is almost impossible to correct or change the system because of its powerful and pervasive nature.
Thus, it is easy to estimate the importance of communication to managers. In an effort to attain organizational goals, they use communication to persuade, inform, and motivate people who play key roles in getting things done. Managers almost always get their jobs done through other people. They may be skilled controllers, production supervisors, or directors of engineering, but they need people to help them achieve their objectives. But the only way to get other people to do what a manager thinks should be done is through communication.
Research indicates that although monetary awards and fear of punishment might be effective motivators, these rarely work on a long-term basis. Communication, which often fulfills basic social and egoistic needs, can and does work as a positive motivator. In fact, some spoken words of praise and recognition or a look that reflects encouragement or approval may prove to be just as effective a means of communication as any written memorandum.

What Does "The Dead Woman of Juarez" have to do with interpersonal communication?
Help me! I'm getting married this Saturday…?
)
…And I’m soo excited!! I’m happy. Genuinely, blissfully happy. We’re not perfect…nobody is. But we’re good. We’re great. We did the counseling thing and passed that with flying colors. We do the open communication thing, and that’s proven to be very effective. We fight. We make up. We laugh. We’ve cried. We’ve been through the good. We’ve been through the bad. We are happy. And Saturday we’re getting married. My question is…I’m so happy now, but how can I be even HAPPIER??
Ok, ok. So maybe this isn’t exactly a legitimate question, but everything is going so well in my life right now that I just wanted to take a moment and tell the world! You can go ahead and move on to answer all the other people who are actually in need of some help right now…
Don’t worry. It will go up and down but if you are lucky, it will be even BETTER.
Congrats!

Just be grateful you’re even somewhat happy. I lot of people don’t even have that. I don’t really think there is a scale of happiness. You either are, or aren’t. Congrats.

Here’s the best advice ever for a happy marriage. Never, never go to bed mad at one another. It’s the best advice I was ever given about marriage.
No matter what, apologize and get over whatever it is that you’re mad about BEFORE going to bed. Otherwise it festers and will eat away at you.
Congratulations!!!

Communication is so important, and if you have learned a way to communicate effectively, you are going to have a pretty good marriage. Being able to have fun and laugh helps a whole lot too.
