If a message is useful to the listener but is sent too late, which aspect of effective communication is weak?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Timeliness
Timeliness means delivering information when it can still be used effectively. A useful warning, instruction, or update may lose its value if it arrives after the decision or task deadline. The problem here is not pronunciation, gestures, or eye contact, which mainly concern spoken or face-to-face delivery; it is the delay in sending the message.
