UPWARD, DOWNWARD AND HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATION

When it comes to types of communication, people generally talk about verbal and nonverbal communication. In this process they usually forget that upward communication, downward communication and horizontal communication also exist. Along with verbal and nonverbal, upward, downward and horizontal communication are also very important whether it is a corporate sector or a family, or an education institute etc.

Today we are going to discuss about these three forms of communication. Let’s check out the points:

1.     Downward Communication:  Downward communication is the type of communication, which goes from top to bottom, which means the flow of communication go from superior person to inferior one. For Example, When Boss delivers some information for his employers then their goes a chain from superior to inferior. This means the flow of communication is downwards. It depicts the meaningful and effective interaction between two or more people which moves top to bottom.

2.     Upward Communication: Here the flow of communication moves from bottom to top. It is totally opposite to downward communication. When staff or employees communicate to their supervisors, managers and directors, this communication will take a form of chain which will move upwards. With the help of this kind of communication managers can get feedback from employees and then can communicate to their director or boss.

3.     Horizontal Communication: This kind of communication goes between the people of same level, position and rank. For example, when employees communicate with other employees then this flow of communication is called horizontal communication. Horizontal communication decreases the chances of misunderstandings between the people working on the same project.

Understating the nature of communication looks very simple but people fail in the same place where they think that they are best at communication and stops to learn more. If somebody is thinking to have a career in this field where they want to have a job of communication, then it is very necessary to have a degree in mass communication or journalism where he/she can get deep theoretical and practical knowledge of communication as a whole.
