The communication at the Intra personal and the Inter personal level tend to play a very important role in the basic environment at the personal level as well as at the corporate level. The communication that takes place between 2 or more of the persons is generally referred to as the Inter personal communication. But the other side if the coin refers to the type of the communication that takes place between the mind of a person and because of this reason this type of the communication is generally referred to as the internal form of the dialogue. During this type of the communication when ever the message is not clear or is in the vague form or in the confused structure, it signals that the mind of that particular individual is not in a stable form and may be the mind is in trouble or any other type of the turmoil. But the mind should be very still and also very silent, then only the internal dialogue that will take place will be clear and the broad and the wide perception will be achieved for an individual then only. The communication that takes place must be very effective in the nature so that it can have the required desired result and all this can be achieved only then when the intra personal communication that takes place must be very clear in the nature. So in the other words it can be said that the mind of an individual must be clear and fresh and very focused in order to have an alarming effect on the situation as by this only one will have a very lively and an in depth analysis about the message that actually takes place in the conscious and also in the unconscious state of the mind. So the communication must be very clear and accurate with all those ingredients that are required for the receiver to have an in depth analysis of the information that is actually transferred from the sender to the receiver. It is very necessary to communicate the information from one end to the other as by this only one is able to communicate as when and what is required from the other end according to the vision that is set by the organisation. By the transfer of the information one is able to shift the various types of the views, beliefs, planning, vision from one end to the other and this movement of the information form the one end to the other is very critical and essential in order to keep the team in the united state and to work and also move as a team towards the direction of the growth as then only the planned things can be achieved as the various research work that has been conducted in India as well in the whole remaining world, very clearly suggest that the growth can take place if the things are done in a very planned manner as a team as one person alone at any of the profile will never ever be able to pull off the things alone.
