Effective communication is and always has been an important feature in enhancing excellent managerial performance. Communication is the lifeblood of every phase of organization life. The basic theory of effective communication dictates that everyone is an organization should have all the information he needs to perform his job properly. Manager's communication skill creates a climate for good human relations and provides effective motivations for employees.

Management in some organization seems incapable of communication effectiveness and successful with the work done.
Subordinates do not comprehend what they are told by superiors and the administrator does not hear clearly through what the subordinates are trying, to tell him, when such situation arises productivity will fall drastically.

Where a managers communication is poor, coordination is poor since coordination implies that people are manager has to interpret information generated by his subordinates and pass such information either upwards or horizontal to his superior and peer respectively.
In this way, they improve managerial performance. Hence, the information must be understandable between the sender / code and the receiver / decoder and must be acted upon before we say that communication process has been completed.
It is for the fore-going reason that research work center ground the role of effective communication in improving managerial performance a study of Imo State Environmental Protection Agency (ISEPA) Owerri.
