The ability to speak good legible English does not
automatically make you a good communicator. There are a few
natives who can communicate much better thru sign language
than we can with our artery of words. Communication is a 2
way process and involves a feedback loop. The speaker sends
a message, which is received by the other person. Now how
does the person interpret the message? Do both the speaker &
the spoken to understand the message in the same spirit?
Often no.
Get into the habit of verifying and summarizing what you
have heard and clarify whether the message that you received
and understood is the same as the one that was intended.
This feedback mechanism will help you avoid a lot of
heartache & stress.
Gone are the days when one person knew all that needed to be
known to execute a project. Nowadays with the rapid
obsolescence of knowledge and the need for specialists and
consultants, it does happen that you often have to assemble
more than 2 or 3 people of differing backgrounds in order to
complete a project successfully.
You will then need to cooperate, and collaborate with the
different members of your team, with external consultants
and of course with your supervisors and higher management.
For this you need excellent communication skills to ensure
that there is harmony and excellent deliverables.
There is an excellent example of 2 competitors collaborating
to execute a huge project in Wipro-InfoSys-UnitedBank's

The project - While Infosys will provide the core banking
solution Wipro InfoTech will be responsible for the end to
end implementation and integration of the bank's centralized
IT system. Said Mr. N.R. Narayana Murthy, Chief Mentor,
Infosys Technologies Ltd, "These are days of specialization
- while Wipro has tremendous experience in hardware, Infosys
has the best software package. Both Wipro and Infosys have
been working as a team in several such projects for the past
two years and we are at once fierce competitors and good
collaborators."
