This paper discusses small group communications and effective communication principles. Work is relatively easier when performed in groups. This is because of the ability of idea sharing in the group. Groups exist in various contexts, such as family, discussions, and even performance. Small group communication is the interaction between three or more people having a common agenda. The minimum number for a small group is three since two are considered as a pair. On the higher end, fifteen people are the appropriate number. The increase in network connections points of small groups increases with the number of members. Depending on the purpose of the group, the small group structure is either formal or informal.

UNDERSTANDING THE PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
The clarity of message conveyance depends on the type and effectiveness of the communication mode used. Therefore, adherence to effective communication principles is essential in passing the most accurate message. This section focuses on the examination of these guidelines. One, clarity is essential in conveying messages. The sender is expected to ensure the message is clear in the recipient’s mind. Secondly, the appropriateness of language used is another principle. Ensuring adherence to the principle of attention when conveying messages is equally essential. The attentiveness of the recipient is required for complete communication. Moreover, the maintenance of consistency by the communication system is another guideline to effective communication. These principles are equally important for conducting small group communications.

THE ADVANTAGES OF SMALL GROUP COMMUNICATIONS
As discussed in the other section, a group with two or more than fifteen members is not a small group. Formation of small group communications is for problem-solving, decision making, or report submission. These groups are mainly informal, though, in some cases formal. Informal groups, in many situations, lack a leader. Small group communications possess varying advantages. One, effective brainstorming is possible through the conveyance of diverse ideas by members. Secondly, executing control is simplified in small groups in comparison to larger groups. Moreover, the division of responsibility is effective in small groups as compared to individual task handling. Implementing effective communication principles ensures the easy management of these groups.
