Communication

The idea behind the post is to illustrate how communication affected the Francistown Be-Mobile Marathon that was held on the 13^th February 2015 at the Francistown stadium. According to Allen et al (2012) communication is a way of sending a massage in a way that the receiver can understand. Okoro (2013) illustrate that communication it’s a key way to knowing and understanding what needs to be done.

The team communicated everything that needed to be done well in time. Denning (2007) state that where they is communication the team come up with different ideas and they achieve a common goal. The team allowed everyone to have a say on the final decision that was made. Dunn (2002) highlight that communication is not about understanding what was assigned but implementing it with results at the end of the day. The communicated information to the team they managed to do the work and they were well trained before the event on how to serve the runners. The marathon was a success since the leaders had good communication skills to deliver to the team. Guo (2005) illustrate that communication allows the receivers to ask questions where they do not understand.
