ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION FOR LEADERS
Introduction
The research paper is presented to focus on the management of conflicts and how can
it help in managing the personal and professional development with the consideration of
communication management. The communication within the organisations is managed with
the assistance of leaders to deal with the conflicts and this can be responsible for the
development of professionalism with much ease and efficiency. The leadership and
communication are important aspects that are responsible for managing conflicts within the
organisation and at the same time, facilitate positive changes, which can benefit both the
organisation as well as its staffs (Noe et al., 2017). To facilitate the management of conflicts,
the organisational communication for the leaders of the organisation is important to transfer
or exchange messages and information rooted in the organisational culture and values. This
would help in creating a positive impact on the various stakeholders such as the employees,
shareholders or investors, strategic partners, customers, etc. by reflecting the vision, mission
statement and the culture as well.
Conflict management
The conflicts are evitable to arise and is common considering the interactions or
communications between the human beings. To ensure that the people do not get stuck in
different situations due to the conflicts, it is not only important to develop the organisational
policies, but also is important to ensure that the organisational policies and procedures are
informed to the employees and made knowledgeable about with the involvement of the
leaders or managers. According to Dozier, Grunig & Grunig (2013), this should allow the
staffs to follow these policies and rules and even become aware of the consequences that
might result from the conflicts, furthermore could help in facilitating the communication
process between the manager and employees and ensure development of conflict resolution

strategies, no matter what the size of the organisation might be (Dozier, Grunig & Grunig,
2013). The conflicts might arise due to the opposing needs and incompatible preferences
along with change in internal and external demands that could hinder the successful
management of communication and this in turn, should result in conflicts and
misunderstandings all throughout. As stated by Schlaerth, Ensari & Christian (2013), there
could be interpersonal, intrapersonal, intragroup and intergroup conflicts, all of which,
involve individual values, behaviours and also the organisational behaviours that get affected
due to the interpersonal disagreements, furthermore leading to differences in opinions and
responses and creating conflicts all throughout (Schlaerth, Ensari & Christian, 2013). The
conflicts are managed with the enabling of proper communication process and by involving
the managers and leaders to make the employees informed about the organisational policies
and procedures, which can create scopes for dealing with the conflicts conveniently.
Effective leadership
There are various principles of managing effective communication among the
organisational leaders such as the openness, personalisation, prioritisation, maintaining
clarity, trust, listening and finally inspiring. These are the key aspects for driving
collaboration and success, furthermore ensure maintenance of good leadership skills to
promote better understanding from the person who are being communicated with along with
being open while communicating with the members of the organisation (Hillson & Murray-
Webster, 2017). The personalisation is another aspect that has helped the leaders to prioritise
on the communication what the leaders want from the organisational members, furthermore
manage clarity and ensure successful production all throughout. The effective leadership
communication allows for managing clear and simple communication, furthermore discuss
among themselves, i.e., the manager and employees to gain clarity of any solutions that can
