Key to successful leadership at workplace

Effective communication will not only solve half of the organization problem but will also put the organization on the path to success. For a leader to become the good leader it’s important to have effective communication skills.

One of my classmate’s blog puts emphasis on communication skills too he says, “ There are many communicating methods, such as speech, visuals, signals, writing or body languages. It plays an important role in social lives of human beings, which some people consider that it’s the basic of human existence” (Zhouhe). In his blog, he discussed the importance of communicating information and other benefits of effective communication such as improved relationships as there is less misunderstanding. I completely agree with him that communication plays important role in our everyday life to exchange information.

Adding more into how effective communication specifically can help an organization. When a leader knows how to communicate clearly at the workplace and everyone receives the same information, the whole team will be on the same page and also the better understanding of what is expected out of them. Which, in result will increase productivity.

When everyone receives information at the same time from one person, it eliminates a lot of confusion and misunderstanding. If an organization has downward communication, the whole team of certain position level should receive information at the same time so the leader of that team can pass it down to floor employees. When employees of any level feel the strong communication channel in the organization their job satisfaction increases because they feel more involved.

When leaders know how to communicate information effectively they can build strong team leading to efficient organization. Which, will bring organization a lot of success.

Going back to my theory of job, making work feel more like an opportunity. I think deciding to act like a leader and starting to learn those skills such as communication is self-development. This is definitely something that will excite me to go to work rather than not wanting to wake up. It’s much higher level of personal satisfaction than just getting paid to be there.
