From the Paper:

"Written communications may require some understanding as well, but usually written communications have more clarity in an organization, assuming that basic writing skills are used. When I receive a clear statement in writing from a superior, I know what he or she wants and also have a document to show if any doubt is raised. When the communication is verbal, misunderstanding is more possible, though I have found that care given to such communications as a listener can reduce such misunderstandings. My experience in my work often reminds me of how important communication is and how far astray we may go if we do not give this the attention it requires."
