We say communication is all-important and, of course, it is. But couldn't most of us do a better job? Aren't there times when you feel you're just not making yourself clear? Why doesn't anybody understand what I say???
Check yourself – here are five questions to determine if critical communication skills are regularly being practiced in your organization or in your life:
1. Do
you or your managers see that communication is a two-way process?
2. Do
you and your managers construct clear, concise messages in the interest of the listener?
3. Are
nonverbal behaviors handled in a way that will reinforce the intent of the message?
4. Do
you or your managers use active listening to improve communication?
5. Do
you or your managers create a climate of open communication to increase team members’
motivation and commitment?
We've found success with the Leadership Series ESSENTIALS online courses.I like this series of personal and leadership development courses – they’re focused on the basics and not just for new leaders. Individuals working with ANYONE could sharpen these skills - and it’s surprising how many experienced leaders could use a refresher in the basics!
