From the Paper:

"In the work place environment, there are many factors that help determine an organization's ability and skill in maintaining the stability and organization among its employees/members. One of these factors includes attaining an organizational communication process through effective communication skills. The most prominent forms used by most organizations are the development of verbal and non-verbal communication since these are the most obvious ways of communication that provide a dialogue for employees and the management in an organization. However, what is not realized by both the employees and management is that listening is one important communication aspect that precedes verbal and non-verbal communication. This means that in order to attain effective communication verbally or non-verbally, communicators must first learn to listen in order to assess carefully the issues at hand and the required action that must be taken."
