Clarify the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of the board members and management team;
Enable the board to provide strategic guidance and effective oversight of the management; and
Ensure that no one single individual has too much power or influence on the organization.
Further to the above, the board's main role is to protect the interests of the shareholders and other relevant stakeholders. At the same time, they have to ensure that the company is able to compete in the market. The directors are also expected to be able to have a firm grip on the company's internal controls processes, to ensure operational and financial risks are identified, addressed and managed.
In a general context, the effectiveness of a board within an organization depends on a few factors, namely, size and composition, competencies, activeness and leadership qualities. These factors are non-exhaustive and non-conclusive whereby every organization should include relevant gauge wherever necessary.

Organizational communication is no different with organizational issues often adding unique complications to the mix during the communication process. For an organization to be successful, it must have employees capable of sending and receiving information quickly, clearly, effectively, and error free. Mistakes caused by miscommunication cost organizations thousands of dollars due to missed deadlines, lost time, and wasted product.

In order to have effective employee communication in the workplace, one must understand organizational communication structure and how that communication structure facilitates internal communication. With a basic understanding of organizational communication, one will be able to improve communication skills and recognize communication problems that arise during employee communication in the workplace.

Organizational Communication Structure
An organizational communication structure is a network or system of pathways through which messages flow. This structure is how an organization communicates information to employees. The two types of organizational communication structure are Formal and Informal. Both formal and informal types are used for employee communication throughout the entire organization.
