Communications, in all its varied forms, is a key workplace skill. Ironically, communicating during a "communications age" offers its own challenges, demanding clarity and precision to be heard through the clutter. Expressing ideas and objectives in a direct way, leaving little to interpretation, is the goal of the communicator.
