Understanding Communication

Communication today is mainly of three types

• Written communication, in the form of emails, letters, reports, memos and various other documents.

• Oral communication.

• This is either face-to-face or over the phone/video conferencing, etc.

• A third type of communication, also commonly used but often underestimated is non-verbal communication,
  which is by using gestures or even simply body movements that are made.

• These too could send various signals to the other party and is an equally important method of communication.
