Communication

Communication is how we send messages to each other. It can be wordless, like body language. It can be written like a letter or message. It can also be spoken. Communication is very different from one situation to another.

1,837 Questions

What types of communications were used in World War 2?

Radio was the most important. Every combatant nation encrypted its messages in as complex a code as possible, knowing the enemy would be listening for broadcasts and trying to crack the code to read the messages. For many years after the war it was kept a secret how successful the Allies had been at decrypting enemy transmissions. The Germans used the Enigma machine to encrypt their messages, which they believed to be unbreakable without the message "key" (the initial setting of the complex machine) which was changed daily. But the British, with help from Poles (whose postal service had used commercially purchased early versions of the Engima), using one of the world's first computers, were eventually able to read a large portion of this traffic. American codebreakers were able to decrypt large amounts of Japanese traffic as well, which contributed greatly to the decisive victory at Midway, and made the killing of Admiral Yamamoto possible. In many armies forward observers (FOs) with the frontline troops were able to use their radios to call up the artillery and correct its aim to bring artillery fire directly on to the enemy. This had not been possible in previous wars. The standard radio of US ground troops was the SCR-500 (Signal Corps Radio Model Number 500) which was a very heavy unit, about seventy pounds, and not always reliable. The "walkie-talkie" first made its appearance in WWII with US troops. These were huge contraptions, about the size of a loaf of bread. There were no printed circuit boards, no transistors yet, so all radios of every type had a bunch of vacuum tubes inside them, and were very heavy and took time to warm up before use. The US also had "field telephones", as they had in the First World War, which had to be connected to one another by wire. This offered the advantage that the enemy could not hear what was said, unless he infiltrated and cut the wire to install his own headset, something the Japanese often did and the Germans sometimes. The wire could be cut, by shellfire explosions or infiltrating enemy soldiers, and when the phone went dead somebody had to go out and run their hand along the wire until they found and spliced the break. By late in the war the US had perfected using FM radios to allow ground controllers with tank units to speak directly with pilots in aircraft flying ground attack support, and thus direct their attack onto the enemy. The US made around 70 large scale amphibious attacks during the war, and forward observers landing on the beaches with the assault troops were able to call in naval gunfire from the ships off the invasion beaches. All American and British tanks had radios in them. In the Russian Red Army only the unit leaders tanks were radio equipped. Airplanes of course had radios, but Americans on bombing missions tried not to use them much, because every nation had the ability to use RDF - radio direction finding - to locate and pinpoint the source of a radio transmission, which would draw enemy fighter planes to attack the bomber formation. Similarly, spies operating in occupied Europe spying on the Germans had radios, but they tried to use them only at the times specified for their transmissions, and to send their messages very quickly, to give as little chance as possible for Gestapo agents in RDF vans riding around the cities to pinpoint their location. Ships at sea often observed radio silence, to avoid giving away their position, as the Japanese did on the way from Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. Ships at sea could use semaphore flags to speak to each other. This was a specially trained signalman with a flag in each hand, which he held in positions to spell out each letter of a message. At night, powerful spotlights with a shutter device over the front could be used to "blink" morse code messages between ships. The US Navy and other navies also had TBS - "talk between ships" - a low powered system that was supposed to allow radio communication between ships in a formation, which was not supposed to carry too far, and thus ought not to be picked up by enemy listening stations and give away the ships' position. But atmospheric effects, such as "skip", could in fact carry those TBS transmissions a very long way on some occasions. Within the US regular telephone lines could be used, and anywhere telephone lines reached teletypewriters could be used to send messages. Telegrams were still important. Most next of kin of US servicemen killed or wounded were notified by a telegram from the War or Navy Departments. Wives on the home front lived in dread of seeing the telegram delivery guy appear on their doorstep. Between the US and Europe, ND the US and Hawaii, there were undersea cables, the transatlantic ones dating from the late 1800s, which could be used to send "cable" messages which the enemy could not intercept.

What are 7c's of communication give examples of each?

The 7 Cs provide a checklist for making sure that your meetings, emails, conference calls, reports, and presentations are well constructed and clear - so your audience gets your message.

According to the 7 Cs, communication needs to be:

  • Clear.
  • Concise.
  • Concrete.
  • Correct.
  • Coherent.
  • Complete.
  • Courteous.

In this article, we look at each of the 7 Cs of Communication, and we'll illustrate each element with both good and bad examples.

1. ClearWhen writing or speaking to someone, be clear about your goal or message. What is your purpose in communicating with this person? If you're not sure, then your audience won't be sure either.

To be clear, try to minimize the number of ideas in each sentence. Make sure that it's easy for your reader to understand your meaning. People shouldn't have to "read between the lines" and make assumptions on their own to understand what you're trying to say.

Bad Example

Hi John,

I wanted to write you a quick note about Daniel, who's working in your department. He's a great asset, and I'd like to talk to you more about him when you have time.

Best,

Skip

What is this email about? Well, we're not sure. First, if there are multiple Daniels in John's department, John won't know who Skip is talking about.

Next, what is Daniel doing, specifically, that's so great? We don't know that either. It's so vague that John will definitely have to write back for more information.

Last, what is the purpose of this email? Does Skip simply want to have an idle chat about Daniel, or is there some more specific goal here? There's no sense of purpose to this message, so it's a bit confusing.

Good Example

Let's see how we could change this email to make it clear.

Hi John,

I wanted to write you a quick note about Daniel Kedar, who's working in your department. In recent weeks, he's helped the IT department through several pressing deadlines on his own time.

We've got a tough upgrade project due to run over the next three months, and his knowledge and skills would prove invaluable. Could we please have his help with this work?

I'd appreciate speaking with you about this. When is it best to call you to discuss this further?

Best wishes,

Skip

This second message is much clearer, because the reader has the information he needs to take action.

2. ConciseWhen you're concise in your communication, you stick to the point and keep it brief. Your audience doesn't want to read six sentences when you could communicate your message in three.
  • Are there any adjectives or "filler words" that you can delete? You can often eliminate words like "for instance," "you see," "definitely," "kind of," "literally," "basically," or "I mean."
  • Are there any unnecessary sentences?
  • Have you repeated the point several times, in different ways?

Bad Example

Hi Matt,

I wanted to touch base with you about the email marketing campaign we kind of sketched out last Thursday. I really think that our target market is definitely going to want to see the company's philanthropic efforts. I think that could make a big impact, and it would stay in their minds longer than a sales pitch.

For instance, if we talk about the company's efforts to become sustainable, as well as the charity work we're doing in local schools, then the people that we want to attract are going to remember our message longer. The impact will just be greater.

What do you think?

Jessica

This email is too long! There's repetition, and there's plenty of "filler" taking up space.

Good Example

Watch what happens when we're concise and take out the filler words:

Hi Matt,

I wanted to quickly discuss the email marketing campaign that we analyzed last Thursday. Our target market will want to know about the company's philanthropic efforts, especially our goals to become sustainable and help local schools.

This would make a far greater impact, and it would stay in their minds longer than a traditional sales pitch.

What do you think?

Jessica

3. ConcreteWhen your message is concrete, then your audience has a clear picture of what you're telling them. There are details (but not too many!) and vivid facts, and there's laserlike focus. Your message is solid.

Bad Example

Consider this advertising copy:

The Lunchbox Wizard will save you time every day.

A statement like this probably won't sell many of these products. There's no passion, no vivid detail, nothing that creates emotion, and nothing that tells people in the audience why they should care. This message isn't concrete enough to make a difference.

Good Example

How much time do you spend every day packing your kids' lunches? No more! Just take a complete Lunchbox Wizard from your refrigerator each day to give your kids a healthy lunch AND have more time to play or read with them!

This copy is better because there are vivid images. The audience can picture spending quality time with their kids - and what parent could argue with that? And mentioning that the product is stored in the refrigerator explains how the idea is practical. The message has come alive through these details.

4. CorrectWhen your communication is correct, it fits your audience. And correct communication is also error-free communication.
  • Do the technical terms you use fit your audience's level of education or knowledge?
  • Have you checked your writing for grammatical errors? Remember, spell checkers won't catch everything.
  • Are all names and titles spelled correctly?

Bad Example

Hi Daniel,

Thanks so much for meeting me at lunch today! I enjoyed our conservation, and I'm looking forward to moving ahead on our project. I'm sure that the two-weak deadline won't be an issue.

Thanks again, and I'll speak to you soon!

Best,

Jack Miller

If you read that example fast, then you might not have caught any errors. But on closer inspection, you'll find two. Can you see them?

The first error is that the writer accidentally typed conservation instead of conversation. This common error can happen when you're typing too fast. The other error is using weak instead of week.

Again, spell checkers won't catch word errors like this, which is why it's so important to proofread everything!

5. CoherentWhen your communication is coherent, it's logical. All points are connected and relevant to the main topic, and the tone and flow of the text is consistent.

Bad Example

Traci,

I wanted to write you a quick note about the report you finished last week. I gave it to Michelle to proof, and she wanted to make sure you knew about the department meeting we're having this Friday. We'll be creating an outline for the new employee handbook.

Thanks,

Michelle

As you can see, this email doesn't communicate its point very well. Where is Michelle's feedback on Traci's report? She started to mention it, but then she changed the topic to Friday's meeting.

Good Example

Hi Traci,

I wanted to write you a quick note about the report you finished last week. I gave it to Michelle to proof, and she let me know that there are a few changes that you'll need to make. She'll email you her detailed comments later this afternoon.

Thanks,

Michelle

Notice that in the good example, Michelle does not mention Friday's meeting. This is because the meeting reminder should be an entirely separate email. This way, Traci can delete the report feedback email after she makes her changes, but save the email about the meeting as her reminder to attend. Each email has only one main topic.

6. CompleteIn a complete message, the audience has everything they need to be informed and, if applicable, take action.
  • Does your message include a "call to action", so that your audience clearly knows what you want them to do?
  • Have you included all relevant information - contact names, dates, times, locations, and so on?

Bad Example

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to send you all a reminder about the meeting we're having tomorrow!

See you then,

Chris

This message is not complete, for obvious reasons. What meeting? When is it? Where? Chris has left his team without the necessary information.

Good Example

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to remind you about tomorrow's meeting on the new telecommuting policies. The meeting will be at 10:00 a.m. in the second-level conference room. Please let me know if you can't attend.

See you then,

Chris

7. CourteousCourteous communication is friendly, open, and honest. There are no hidden insults or passive-aggressive tones. You keep your reader's viewpoint in mind, and you're empathetic to their needs.

Bad Example

Jeff,

I wanted to let you know that I don't appreciate how your team always monopolizes the discussion at our weekly meetings. I have a lot of projects, and I really need time to get my team's progress discussed as well. So far, thanks to your department, I haven't been able to do that. Can you make sure they make time for me and my team next week?

Thanks,

Phil

Well, that's hardly courteous! Messages like this can potentially start officewide fights. And this email does nothing but create bad feelings, and lower productivity and morale. A little bit of courtesy, even in difficult situations, can go a long way.

Good Example

Hi Jeff,

I wanted to write you a quick note to ask a favor. During our weekly meetings, your team does an excellent job of highlighting their progress. But this uses some of the time available for my team to highlight theirs. I'd really appreciate it if you could give my team a little extra time each week to fully cover their progress reports.

Thanks so much, and please let me know if there's anything I can do for you!

Best,

Phil

What a difference! This email is courteous and friendly, and it has little chance of spreading bad feelings around the office.

VariationsThere are a few variations of the 7 Cs of Communication:
  • Credible - Does your message improve or highlight your credibility? This is especially important when communicating with an audience that doesn't know much about you.
  • Creative - Does your message communicate creatively? Creative communication helps keep your audience engaged.
