The Organization

According to an old saying, you can judge the personality of an organization by the switchboard operator. Organizations, in the end, are people – people playing roles. The roles differ in many ways. A superior, for instance, may have far greater power and authority than subordinates. Those with the greatest authority are said to be at the top of the hierarchy. The hierarchy of authority also establishes a chain of command, the route by which instructions and communicated between employees – who you speak to, for instance, when a problem arises. A hierarchy is actually composed of relationships between people. These relationship are based, in part, on who holds the power to make decisions. Job descriptions usually mention these relationships. Sometimes, however, rank is communicated less formally. Either way, in order to communicate successfully with coworkers, it is important to recognize these relationships within the organization.

Communication is a two-way street. We listen and we speak. Listening well is as important as speaking clearly. If you have learned English as a foreign language and are working for a joint venture, your colleagues learn to understand your way of speaking. However, those who do not know you may not understand your pronunciation as easily. Fortunately, there are several quick ways to improve your pronunciation. First, remember to listen to yourself speaking. Just remembering to speak carefully is a good start. When giving information on the phone, remember to be especially clear. Speak slowly. Pronounce each word carefully, one sentence at a time. You will be amazed how much more easily you are understood.
