The same information, conveyed in the opposite direction might not get the attention it deserves) - Use of jargon - employees who are "specialists" may fall for the trap of using specialist language for a non-specialist audience (e.g. the IT technician who cannot tries to explain how users should log onto a network, in language that sounds foreign to most users of the network) - Selective reporting - where the reporter gives the recipient incorrect or incomplete information - Poor timing - information that is not immediately relevant (e.g. notice of some deadline that seems a long way off) is not always actioned straightaway - Conflict - where the communicator and recipient are in conflict; information tends to be ignored or distorted |
