Communication so crucial to finding winning formula

Communication. It is part of our everyday lives but how much effort do we actually put into making sure we present our thoughts and our beliefs accurately? Just ask how much it matters to anyone listening to a doctor diagnosing a patient or someone trying to take in an all-important business pitch.

Accurate communication of information is essential in all walks of life. It is what enables us to evaluate what to do next and what not to do. Never is communication more important than at the very top of a decision-making ladder, where right or wrong decisions can have a profound impact on society at large.

How you communicate your message depends on your audience. For example, when I was playing on the European Tour, I had an agreement with my caddie Myles Byrne as to how I wanted his information communicated to me.
