Communication is more than merely imparting meaning - it must also be understood.
Fundamental definition of effective communication is when the intended message of the sender is correctly interpreted, understood and acted upon by recipient/listener.
Communication is the lifeblood of teams. No team or organization can exist without communication i.e. the transference of meaning among its team members.
It is only through transmitting meaning from one person to another that information and ideas can be conveyed.
