This process involves deciding the actions of an organization, dividing them into individual units and choosing entities to work those units. Needless to say, these entities can only come to know their responsibilities through effective communication with management.

c. Direction and leadership:

Good leaders can effective lead using better communication. Communication puts leaders in close communication with their staff, thus, reducing the risk of misunderstandings. A leader can smoothly issue orders and receive feedback from the staff.

e. Co-ordination:

Modern companies are very large and may employ thousands of employees. For proper functioning, it becomes imperative that the various activities within the departments of the company are properly coordinated. Coordination requires understanding the organizational goals and better interpersonal relationships between the staff - and all this takes good communication.
