Professional Communication is communicating on behalf of the organisation (Cenere, P., Gill, R., Lawson, C., Lewis, M., 2015). In relation to my area of study, true enough to these words in the world of business specifically in management an effective communication is essential for all managers to carry out the primary functions such as planning, organising, leading and controlling. Because how could one communicate with their subordinate to achieved the organisation’s goal? Nevertheless, controlling your business and the business organisation can never become possible without written and oral communication. There are different types of communications existing in the professional associations  one of which are the above mentions in the form of email,memos, hand outs, reports and meetings and their are different strategies that can be used by organisations to interact in according to the type of the audiences (Flores, 2012).

Within an organisation all essential information necessary for business operation is communicated to the managers who  in return creates a plan and then communicate to everyone in order to implement them and this is how communication serves as the most important part of business management. Lets point out some communication skills that is needed by a manager  so to succeed in all managerial tasks and surpass all trials and issues in relevant to the business and the organisation.
