Becoming A Great Communicator Involves Listening And Accepting Feedback
You will not become a good leader until you master the art of great communication.
The great poet laureate said “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” The more personal and engaging you make the conversation, the more effective it will be.
The traditional business model of leader/employee communications says that it should be kept strictly business. No personal stuff. This can be a recipe for disaster.
If you don’t consistently work on building good relationships with people, they will never really share with you what’s on their mind until it is too late.
When you have a good relationship based on the work you have done building those relationships through communication, you will build trust with people and consequently they will be more willing to share information with you.
Before you say anything, pause and think about how your words are going to impact those you lead.
“Think twice before you speak. Your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another” Napoleon Hill
