Assertive Communication

Objectives | Outline

Communication is the basis of all human interaction and for all group functioning. Every group must take in and use information. The very existence of a group depends on communication, on exchanging information and transmitting meaning.

Through communication members of groups reach some understanding of one another, build trust, coordinate their actions, plan their strategies, agree upon division of labor, and conduct all group activities --- even exchange insults.

It is through communication that members interact, and effective communication is a prerequisite for every aspect of group functioning. (Joining together: Group Theory and Group Skills by David W. Johnson and Frank P Johnson, 1987,p.173) this proves just ho important communication is in the success of the organization.
