God showed the importance of communication when He wanted to stop the progress on the Tower of Babel. A failure to communicate has caused a lot of other projects to fail. Communication is the process of arriving at an understanding between ourselves and other people concerning mutual needs and goals. It is the process we go through to convey understanding from one person or group to another. It is important to communicate as much information as is feasible to the followers in an organization, but sometimes there is information that needs to be limited, at least for a period of time.
Some leaders choose to reveal very little information about problems in an organization.
I think this reflects a lack of confidence and trust in subordinates. There are always things that should not be shouted from the rooftops, or put in the newspaper, but they can be told to important members of an organization. The lines in an organization chart reflect lines of authority and of communication. When a youth pastor comes from a staff meeting, he needs a clear understanding of what information he is to pass on to his workers and what should be limited to just the professional church staff. Knowing how communication is passed helps one to decide just how to inform others.
