The effectiveness of communication often depends on the appropriate communication style for the situation. One should be able to correctly determine the situation to choose the right and effective communication strategy. The personal communication situation differs from the official informality of presenting information in the first place (Wang et al., 2020). For example, I needed pants in a certain style for a performance, and I posted about it on social networks. It means that all of my followers or friends were the intended audience. The communication act aimed to draw attention to my request and see if my friends could help fulfill it.
However, in professional communication, it is necessary to observe a certain official communication style. That involves avoiding colloquialisms and abbreviations to follow ethical principles (Cornelissen, 2020). It also includes the need to explain the issue in detail to avoid misunderstandings to avoid conflicts. An example is an official letter from a company manager to management with a proposal to introduce cloud applications into the company. The target audience includes the company’s entire management since this message can be shown to other specialists to discuss the proposal.
As well as formal communication, effective persuasive communication in the academic field should not include an emotional tone, which is allowed in a personal context. When thinking about or researching a chosen problem, it is important to use clear, precise, and concise language (Cornelissen, 2020). A compelling essay on maintaining distance learning in the faculty during the pandemic is an example. The collected evidence and description of the problem will convince the college’s leadership.
However, it should be borne in mind that contexts may not always require only one persuasive communication style. During teamwork, the main problem in communication can be a lack of trust (Johnson, 2010). It is important to allow all your guesses to connect with the guesses of other people (Johnson, 2010). Teamwork itself should be encouraged as one of the ways to generate new ideas.
