Managerial communication plays a vital role in knowledge sharing; management uses effective communication to set clear expectations, establish responsibilities, and maximize the team’s performance (Juenja, 2015). Managerial communication would influence completing tasks, and by using effective communication, leadership would delegate responsibilities, maintaining open communication channels, which would lead to transparency and help create a safe environment (Juenja, 2015). Managerial communication would play an essential role in motivating stakeholders, and during times of crisis, effective communication by leadership would help to give the stakeholders a sense of security (Juenja, 2015). Merrell (2012), stated, “managers are better at making change real for their people. The best invest in their managers and give them effective training and support in managing through change, making the changes real and engaging for their teams. We found that the majority (82%) do actually provide training for their managers to help them manage through change.”

1. Creasey (n.d) states that a managers ability to lead will help determine if a change initiative is successful! It is important for managers to facilitate certain actions during the change process and this includes: Communicate with direct reports about the change, demonstrate support for the change, coach employees through the change, engage with and provide support to the project team, and identify and manage resistance (Creasey, n.d.). Managers need to voice expectations for the change initiative in a clear way that the staff can understand. They can also serve as role models during the implementation process!

I think communications skills are very important for all managers and leaders. Having good communication skills allow managers and leaders to perform their roles more effectively throughout the organization. Good leaders, and managers role is to communicate different topic to many people effectively and clear enough for others to understand. The main key is to accomplish the goal at hand through the changing process.
