Managers spend 1/3 of their time communicating up and down the organizational hierarchy

 Managers spend 1/3 of their time communicating up and down the organizational hierarchy. Communication is the transfer and understanding of information from one person to another. The communication model comprises of several parts.

We want to examine the Communication Pathway or medium in which communication is delivered. The Communication Pathway is the pathway messages are sent, including:

meetings, and online discussions,
written letters or memorandums, and
telephone, among others.
While some people may be better at using certain mediums over others, certain mediums can be better suited for the specific message being conveyed.

For this week’s discussion, suppose you are a manager who needs to communicate several messages to employees of the company.
