The most common source of miscommunication occurs when someone hears what someone says, and then the listener assumes that he or she knows what the speaker meant. All too often, this assumption proves false, and thus what the speaker meant to say is misinterpreted.

The effective way to correct this is for the listener to check the message, for the listener to tell the speaker what the listener thought the message meant, so the speaker can verify or correct it. Example: "Are you saying I shouldn't ever contact him again?" "No, I only meant that you should be careful about contacting him when you know he's so busy."

I'm going to take a stab at this, and assume that you meant effective. It cannot be effective if it is a miscommunication. The word effective is usually meant as a positive outcome or an expected result. All miscommunication does is make things worse, regardless of the situation.

The main source of miscommunication would be that you hear but don't listen...many people mistake the two...they say i heard you...but no one ask if you heard they ask if you were listening which means comprehending what the other is trying to say.
