The importance of effective communication is in building strong relationships. True communication requires both speaking and listening, and it's not enough to simply talk to someone. Only when we focus on connecting with others by actively listening and empathizing with their perspectives can we achieve deeper and more meaningful relationships. Communication is the medium through which knowledge flows. When you don't communicate effectively, you're essentially trying to paddle a boat with a hole in it. You won't get very far, and you might just end up sinking.
