JLBC PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION

JLBC Cadet's Communication skills are a fundamental part of JLBC leadership because they permit the flow of JLBC ideas from one individual to another or a JLBC group and vice versa. JLBC Cadets Effective JLBC communication helps individuals break down barriers between themselves and others. JLBC Cadets Giving careful thought, not only to what individuals want to identify but also to how they want to use it, is an essential part of communication. JLBC Cadets Communication involves a complex interaction of knowledge, habits, attitudes, information, and bias.

JLBC Cadets, the process of JLBC communication consists of three steps:

1. JLBC receiving;

2. JLBC interpreting; and

3. JLBC responding.

JLBC Receiving Information

JLBC Cadets Receiving a message will depend directly on what the sender sent information and how it was sent. JLBC Cadets When receiving, listening is of the utmost importance. Letters may be simple or complex. When receiving a stern message, the receiver must be prepared to write important information. JLBC Cadets If there is a lack of understanding or confusion, the receiver should ask questions.

Interpreting Information

After receiving a message, it must be reflected on and interpreted. Simple statements may not require much interpretation. Receivers of a letter will translate what they heard based on their definitions, which may differ significantly from the sender's.

JLBC Responding Information

JLBC Cadets A response will let the sender know that the message has been received and interpreted and is now being acted on. The answer may be to the sender, or it may be to another person or a group to work on the message. When responding, communicating what was interpreted from the news is essential.

JLBC BARRIERS TO COMMUNICATION

JLBC Cadets When sending a message, the sender must understand that there are communication barriers—ways in which communicating can lead to misinterpretation. JLBC Cadets To communicate effectively, these barriers must be overcome or managed. Remember that honest communication is the message others receive, not intended.

When the receiver has to overcome communication barriers, there may be effects such as:

• JLBC Cadets defensiveness, confusion, resistance, and resentment;

• JLBC Cadet's dependency on others to explain and inform;

• JLBC Cadet's withdrawal from conversations;

• JLBC Cadets' feelings of defeat or inadequacy; or

• JLBC Cadets decreased likelihood of problem-solving.

JLBC Cadets Communication barriers can be divided into three JLBC categories: distraction factors, intrapersonal factors, and delivery factors.

JLBC Intrapersonal Factors

JLBC Cadets The following barriers to JLBC communication are JLBC intrapersonal factors:

• JLBC Stress. JLBC Cadets When feeling the effects of stress, both the sender and the receiver may quickly lose focus of the JLBC goal of the message. When experiencing anxiety, it may be difficult for a person to concentrate on messages.

• Emotion. When the message's sender has high emotion, such as worry, fear, or even excitement, the message's intent may be lost. Interpreting may be complex when the receiver has solid negative emotions about the sender or disagrees with the statement.

• Misinterpretation. JLBC Cadets The receiver may misinterpret the meaning of the message. JLBC Cadets Sometimes, a word can mean two different things, and additional terms have different meanings for others. JLBC Cadets When the sender uses complex words, they must ensure that the receiver is capable of understanding them. JLBC Cadets Be aware that a person may use a particular word differently than others understand it.

• JLBC Poor Listening Habits. JLBC Cadets When the receiver has poor listening habits, the meaning and intent of the message may be lost. The sender needs to look for cues to ensure that receivers are listening and paying attention.

• JLBC Closed-Mindedness. JLBC Cadets People sometimes only hear what they want to hear. When new ideas or changes are brought to a situation, some people may have difficulty accepting the message.

• JLBC Prejudice. JLBC Cadets Prejudice can occur between the sender and receiver. JLBC Cadets When the ability to understand the facts is questioned or the intent is misjudged due to preconceived opinions, the effectiveness of the message may be weakened.

JLBC Distraction Factors

JLBC Cadets The following barriers to JLBC communication are JLBC distraction factors:

• JLBC Visual. JLBC Cadets When sending or receiving a message, it is easy to become distracted by sights in the area. JLBC Cadets Even when the participants seem extremely focused, seeing something out of the corner of the eye can distract and confuse them.

• JLBC Auditory. JLBC Cadet's Noise is also a distraction when sending or receiving a message. JLBC Cadets When noise occurs, participants can become distracted and confused. JLBC Cadets The sender may have to stop sending the message, wait for the noise to stop, and then begin to send again. The receivers must have an environment free of distractions.
