Clear Mind Communicates Clearly

Abstract

The paper submits that a manager knows that his written communication must convey exactly and be understood exactly. It should also be responded to as desired. The entire concern of his writing is to see he gets it right. But, not many managers would be so gifted that they produce the first draft of their communication so good that there is no need to change it. In fact, few persons think so precisely and logically that a direct transcription of their ideas would make a purposeful communication. Only through a series of changes in language, tone, and ideas, a person is able to produce a good draft. As he reworks his style of writing, he keeps rethinking his ideas as well. The two processes go on together. The effort is to say what he means, and means what he says. But, how? The paper shows how this could be best understood through an analysis of a concrete case of writing, revising, and rewriting a memo until an effective draft is ready to be released.
