Communication Flow…
Memo From CEO to General Manager…
Today at 1100 hrs there will be a total solar eclipse. This is when the sun disappears for 2 minutes. As this is something , that can not be seen every day , time will be allowed for all our employees to watch the eclipse in the parking lot. Staff should meet at parking lot at ten to eleven , when i will deliver a short speech explaining the significance of the eclipse and give some background information. Safety goggles will be made available to all at a moderate cost.
Now you SEE how the message of CEO travels down below !!!!
General Manager to DepT.Head….
Today, at ten to eleven, all staff should meet in the parking lot . This will be followed by a total eclipse of sun, which will happen for 2 minutes. For a moderate cost , this will be made safe with goggles . The CEO will deliver a short speech beforehand to give us all some information. This is not something that can be seen every day…
Dept.Head to Floor Manager…
The CEO will today deliver a short speech to make the SUN disappear for 2 minutes in the form of an eclipse. This is something that can not be seen every day. So staff will meet in the parking lot at ten to eleven . This will be safe , if you pay a moderate cost.
Floor Manager to Supervisor…
Ten or eleven staff are to go to the parking lot where CEO will eclipse the Sun for 2 minutes. This does not happen every day. It will be safe , and as usual , it will cost you.
Supervisor to Staff…
Some staff will go to the parking lot today and see the CEO disappear!!!.. It is a pity this does not happen every day …!!!!

In order to pre-empt such type of communication gap and also adhering to time management, our HR Dept. would always circulate the original text “for information and necessary action”. How simple is it?!
“It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.”

It is true that Communication plays very important role be it official life or personal life.
The story narrated here was a fantastic example of how communication gets diluted,distorted,interpreted.
