A communication barrier is anything that hinders one person from communicating clearly and the other person/persons from understanding the message. Communication barriers can be detrimental to organizational functioning across several dimensions.
Ineffective communication creates gaps in understanding, resulting in suboptimal work output. For example, team members might take too long to process incomplete instructions, leading to inefficiencies.
When communication becomes harder, team members develop fatigue and disengage, significantly affecting workplace performance. This can contribute to broader issues like the Great Resignation and quiet quitting.
Good communication is crucial for collective creativity and innovation. Without smooth communication, innovation can become a distant dream, trapped in misunderstandings and miscommunication.
