Communication

In my chosen career I manage a diverse team of engineers and function as the communication conduit between the engineering teams, support teams, customers, and senior management.  Each of these diverse groups have different perspectives and innate communication styles, so ensuring effective and clear lines of communication exists between these groups is integral to my daily work.  

Communication

Introduction

Communication is important in your life. Being able to communicate effectively is key to achieving success. It is the way you get people to understand your values, interests, talents, abilities, needs, and wants.  It is how you show your knowledge about things.
