What are the obstacles to effective communication at work?

Communication is the process of transferring the information in your mind into the mind of someone else. The best communication  if the receiver understands what the sender is trying to convey.


Effective communication happens when we take the time to become aware of these differences, which are barriers to communication, and work to overcome them. That process starts with self awareness, particularly an awareness of our own communication preferences. 

There are 5 elements which would becomes obstacles to effective communication
1.Language
2.Physical Barriers
3.Lack of Subject Knowledge
4.Emotions
5.Overdose of Information 



Transferring the thoughts, feelings and concepts in our minds into the minds of another is a process which needs to overcome a number of hurdles. The better we are at removing those hurdles, such as differences in communication style, the more effective we will be a communication.
