Leadership Skills - Communication Style

The communication style of leaders helps us distinguish great leaders from the wannabes. When facing a problem the great leader says, ‘Let’s find out,’ while the wannabe says, ‘Nobody knows.’

Timing and Permission

Have you ever suggested an idea that didn’t land, only to have it suggested and heartily taken up by someone else a little while later? Ideas based on Michael Grinder’s Professional Development Model explain this.

Timing and permission are key micro-skills of communication which are often missing in organisations. They are valid in many aspects of communication eg feedback or contributing in meetings.

Opportunity

There are two schools of thought about opportunity. The first is that it is dependent on chance, and if you're lucky, and in the right place, at the right time, it may fall into your lap. The second is that we create our own opportunities.

Change

Without change, there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.

Choices

Choosing is one of our innate gifts in life. We are faced with choices daily, and our trajectory, both professional and personal, are determined by the quality of the choices we make. How do we consciously weigh up the pros and cons of a specific action, or do we just ricochet off other people's actions and therefore choices for us? 

It is our choices…that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. ~ J. K. Rowling

Great communication

Great communication depends on two simple skills:

  • context, which attunes a leader to the same frequency as his or her audience
  • delivery, which allows a leader to phrase messages in a language the audience can understand.

Taking Action

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. - Leonardo da Vinci, Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer

Daily Review

End each project or even the end of each day by conducting a review. This provides a constructive sense of completion and frees you up mentally and emotionally to start the next project with a fresh perspective and clean slate. This also sets up a positive upward spiral of growth and development.

  • Goals

    The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

  • Letting Go

    Whatever it is, if it doesn’t make you happy, walk away, give it away to someone else who wants it. Let it be their next dream; let it flee from you. Then you have room to grow, to allow magnificent things to fill the vacuum of those seemingly empty places. When you hold onto yesterday, when you hold onto dead and dying adventures, you have no room in your box for greatness. Unknown
