Communication Failures

Communication failures occur when the message intended by the sender is misunderstood or not received as intended by the recipient. This can happen due to unclear language, cultural differences, lack of context, distractions, or emotional barriers. For example, if someone uses jargon that the audience doesn’t understand, or if body language contradicts spoken words, the intended meaning can be lost. Effective communication requires clarity, active listening, and mutual understanding to ensure that messages are conveyed and received accurately, fostering better relationships and collaboration.
