Communication Problems - Responding Barriers

The last part of our communication problems series is responding barriers. Communication is a two way process, where two or more people share information. If a sender convey a message they are likely to hear a feedback from a receiver.  When the feedback can't be successful, then there may be a break in communication cycle.

1. No chance for feedback. Such problem can occur when sender is a sole communicator. When a speaker in a room can talk for hours without others having a chance to ask questions, make suggestions or any other interruptions into conversation, there would be likely redused attention, misunderstandings or misinterpretation of the information. That is why face-to-face communication is always considered the best, when both people are involved. But this is not always possible, so some care should be taken during a meeting like making a break or "ask questions" time or making meeting in a form of disscussion rather than a constructive one.

2. Inadequate feedback. Good communication can suffer due to judgemental or delayed feedback. If an authority is giving instructions in a way of order without a chance for an employee to ask questions or clearing up some details, then the latter may leave with some unclear information which would lead to doubtful results. Further more if a person feels they are not respected they might feel like leaving the place and the commander as soon as possible and can pretend to understand the instructions even if it not so. The results are unpredictible.
