CHAPTER 1

Communication Climate

Abstract Every organisation or group has a communication climate. It


manifests in the way members talk to each other in work settings. This
chapter positions the concept in relation to those of voice climate and
psychological safety and defines it in a way that is wider than both in that
it encompasses the climate for voicing concerns and critical issues as well
as the climate for expressing support, praise, and appreciation. The chap-
ter also introduces the structure of the book, which has 15 chapters organ-
ised in three parts. Part 1 (Chaps. 1–6) addresses why the communication
climate is important in organisations. Part 2 (Chaps. 7–11) presents five
qualities found in well-functioning communication climates. Part 3
(Chaps. 12–14) highlights communication ethics. The book ends with a
chapter containing suggestions for further academic work on the topic.

they find a pale and lifeless patient. They begin lung–heart compression,
