Power Skills Communication

     Communication skills are important skills to have regardless of if you're working a job or not. Communication is the basis of being able to have conversations with others and the circulation of ideas. It is important that one can communicate well (written or verbally) in order to have productive conversations and get their ideas out. In real life (outside of jobs) we communicate verbally with others for small things like asking for an item, conversing with friends, etc. If one couldn't have such verbal conversations life would be difficult since something as little as asking someone what the weather is like would be a hassle. If good communication is not established in the workplace the work experience will also be difficult. In an environment such as the New York Stock Exchange communication is crucial since every second is the difference between a gain or loss. In that workplace people are constantly communicating, filling orders for their clients. If verbal miscommunication occurs it could mean a great loss or an epic missed opportunity for a client. It is easy to see why communication is important in the NYSE and the same applies to other workplaces. Good communication helps work flow smoothly and efficiently and reduces the chance for confusion and delay to occur. It is this reason why it is important to be able to communicate well.
