The 7 Cs of Effective Communication
- Clarity ( not vague)
- Conciseness( short, simple and brief)– brevity is the key to effective communication
- Completeness ( well-connected thoughts in the form of sentences)
- Consideration( be emphatic—right ideas should be stressed on)
- Correctness( accuracy) – no rumors, no bias and no grammatical errors. It should be exact and correct.
- Concreteness: It should be to the point supported by facts and figures in a very easy language.
- Courtesy : This implies that both sender and receiver should have good terms with each other so as to understand each other’s thoughts and feelings and respect them.
