Communication

Communication is the systematic process of transferring information from the sender to the receiver in order to make them understand the message. After receiving the information, the receiver will send feedback to the sender so that the real message is properly understood.

Two reasons for taking feedback:

1. To make sure the receiver understood the message
2. To test the receiver's reaction

An effective communication takes place when the receiver understood the message exactly how the sender wanted them to understand.
