Effective Communication

The Importance of Communication in Leadership and moreso in relationship cannot be over emphasis. Many times we trivialize relationship due to the fact that we expect people to know what we want or what we need without effectively communication it.

This has so much affected leadership is organization, such that the bridge between the Manager and the Employee which ought to be Communication has been broken because bosses don't believe in the opinions of their staff and it many times reflect in their approach to leadership in such team.

What is Communication? Being able to communicate effectively is perhaps the most important of all life skills. It is what enables us to pass information to other people, and to understand what is said to us.

Imagine you have pain and you're in need of something, for a sentimental person seeing that people are around you, you expect them to know what you want and all that, which is not possible.

Many of us need to learn to effectively communicate.

Effective communication and effective leadership are closely intertwined. Leaders need to be skilled communicators in countless relationships at the organizational level, in communities and groups, and sometimes on a global scale.

“Forget about eloquence — worry about being real,” says Susan Tardanico, founder and CEO of the Authentic Leadership Alliance. “People want real. People respect real. People follow real. Don’t disguise who you are. People will never willingly follow a phony.”

There's really nothing like imaginative Communication, communication ought to be deliberate.

Good communicators are also good listeners. When you listen well, you gain a clear understanding of another’s perspective and knowledge.

The most important communication skill for leaders is the ability to listen. Professional listening skills include listening for the message, listening for any emotions behind the message and considering relevant questions about the message.

Also in Communication, Clarity is very important. It helps you to be cleared about the thoughts and situation of the subject matter. Effective Communicators don't jump into conclusion. They ensure proper clarity before speaking.

I read this in a blog that; When you’re speaking, it’s important to be clear and audible. Adjusting your speaking voice so you can be heard in a variety of settings is a skill, and it’s critical to communicating effectively. Speaking too loudly may by disrespectful or awkward in certain settings. If you’re unsure, read the room to see how others are communicating.

Good communication is much more than saying the right thing; it is about communicating messages clearly and concisely.

Ask yourself this, Have you been communicating well?

What do you think?
