However, an average of 25% of all management messages are lost at each organizational level. Thus, it is really important to know how to improve communications effectively as a manager. Most managers can effectively improve their communications and productivity by some basic guidelines. First, in order to help ensure top performance, high morale, and to make your employees feel wanted, needed, and indispensable to the success of the organization, you’d better communicate your overall purpose. Second, communicate your expectations. In this way, tangible performance standards can be provided to subordinates. Third, you can provide feedback on performance. What’s more, communicate all changes. Subordinates react much better to changes when they know in advance that change is coming. Also, if at all possible, let the people affected by the change have a chance to comment upon the proposed change before it actually occurs. Finally, you can communicate face to face. During these personal contacts, it is important that managers communicate openly and directly. Do not hold back information; rather share it naturally and easily. Then . .. Interviewer: Thank you. Time is up. Now, Zhang Hong, what is the question you’d like to ask Wang Kun? Zhang Hong: Annual performance reviews are the most common ways of providing feedback, but why are they frequently ineffective? Wang Kun: It is because the manager does not honestly tell the subordinate what he or she needs to improve upon, and subordinates need much more information than what is in the annual review. Interviewer: Thank you.
