1ENGINEERING MANAGEMENTI think that communication is very important in terms of maintaining stable relationshipsin the professional life. The type of language used by the personnel determines their personality.If the managers use slang language for communicating with the employees, it creates a negativeimage about the nature of the manager (DuFour & DuFour, 2013). On the other hand, utilizationof polished and ornamental language for communication reflects a standardized personality incase of the personnel. Along with this, I also feel that the type of language, which the personneluse, reflects his social background. Herein I can relate the language fluency, which is one of animportant criterion for hiring the desirable candidates. Communication in workplace mainly consists of verbal and non-verbal. With verbalcommunication, I can relate the meetings, conferences and presentations, which the managersconduct for knowing the approach of the employees towards the undertaken steps. Writtencommunication is mainly followed for the employees, who are physically and mentallychallenged (Kohonen et al., 2014). Translators are hired for making the mentally abledemployees understand the message of the managers. These dynamics are followed for all thelevels of employees in order to maintain the stability in the relationship between the employeesand the managers. I feel that communication is one of the effective means, which helps in making effectiveplans for the betterment of the companies and organizations.

In case of deadline issues, I feel face-to-face communications between the managers andthe employees prove beneficial in terms of achieving effective resolutions. I also feel thatcommunicating with the clients well in advance helps the personnel to sort them and completethe tasks within the assigned deadlines. Exposure of rational behavior is important for the staffs in order to tackle these issues inan efficient and effective manner (Huffman et al., 2014). For this, I feel that the personnel needto polish their preconceived communication skills. This could be done by attending spokenEnglish classes. Attending these classes help the personnel to upgrade their linguistic skills. Ialso feel that the managers need to expose conscious approach towards the efforts of theemployees. Providing opportunity to the employees to give presentation in front of the foreigndelegates can be one of the effective means. These presentations act as a platform for theemployees to improve and upgrade their communication skills (Koprowska, 2014). The main reason for these alterations is to attain flexibility towards the requirements andchanges. Herein lays the appropriateness of training, which enhances the preconceived skills,expertise and knowledge of the employees as well as the managers.
