Success Tip
Communicating to Maximize Results
Communications play a strategic role in the workplace. A big part of developing personal power is the ability to get ideas across in a constructive, collaborative manner. Therefore, in order to be a productive and efficient leader, effective communication skills are paramount to your success.
As in all daily interactions, it is important to remember you will converse with people from various background and life experiences. Speaking and listening effectively are crucial to creating an atmosphere of respect with others. Showing respect to everyone and encouraging open communication can help bring you a motivated and congenial staff while impressing your colleagues.
Tips on Communication:
- Deliver clear and consistent messages in your conversations.
- Manage communication problems with knowledge and awareness of conflict management.
- Work on you first. Don't try to change the other person.
- Handle all conversations with respect and you will receive respect in return.
- Stay within your boundaries and values, and keep emotionally balanced during conflicts.
- Inspire, energize and motivate others.
- Actively listen.
- Never make the other person wrong.
- During a conflict, find mutual ground, then resolve the issue with that in mind.
- Do not be a victim or play the villain in a conflict situation.
Communication and leadership are inseparable. Our ability to energize, inspire, and motivate people to high levels of performance is directly related to our ability to communicate well. Be ready with your conflict resolution skills at any time. By communicating with empathy, yet with strength and diplomacy, you will model effective communication to all around you, and the results will happily affect the bottom line.
About conflict:
- Conflict is inevitable.
- Conflict develops because we are dealing with people's lives, jobs children, pride, self-concept, ego and sense of mission or purpose.
- Early indicators of conflict can be recognized.
- There are strategies for resolution that are available and DO work.
- Although inevitable, conflict can be minimized, diverted and/or resolved.
Exercise:
- Listen more carefully and be more responsive with others.
- Explain your intent to others and openly invite their opinions.
- Make an effort to express yourself more clearly and completely.
- Transfer your criticisms and complaints into requests and positive statements and use appropriate language to communicate them.
