L.O. 1) Negotiating meaning in a conversation isn't an uncommon thing, usually, such a thing occurs since our person and/or the one(s) we're speaking with doesn't make sense at the first mention of the topic matter at hand. Communication sometimes becomes complex instead of simple, since our choice of words, inflection, etc can alter intended messages into non-intended ones. L.O. 2) Informal communication networks must not be totally banned, as it would create a negative picture of the company, and the employees might feel suffocated in such an atmosphere. Managers should ensure that the employees are not wasting their time and indulging in gossip more than their work.
