Approach matters, and that’s why you should check out these five communication habits that will make you a very successful leader.
When you communicate your plans and vision for your company to your employees, you expect certain outcomes from your employees based on what you have passed across to them.
However, you commonly hear of entrepreneurs complaining and expressing concern over the inability of their employees to carry out a plan to the point of meeting, or exceeding, expectations.
If you are familiar with this scenario, then maybe the problem isn’t your employees, but how you communicate with them.
Approach matters, and that’s why you should check out these five communication habits that will make you a very successful leader:
-
Have conversations that are focused on the future , rather than the past: Let the past be the past and build a practice of focusing on the future, of what needs to happen to achieve the vision and goals you want.
-
Instead of issuing orders, start a dialog: By making sure your employees participate in a dialog that creates goals, strategy, and timeframes, you are encouraging them to have a higher level of understanding of the corporate objectives.
-
Don’t assume you’ve been heard: Unless you ask for feedback, you leave a lot of room for misunderstanding.
-
Create a culture of authentic communication: Creating a culture of integrity in communication is important. You must build a culture where you and your employees are authentically committed to what you all say.
-
Acknowledge and appreciate good work: When you recognize and acknowledge people for their contribution, they are more likely to continue to create value in the organization.
Try to implement these pointers and hopefully, you could get more results from communicating with your employees. Enjoy :).
