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.’

Importance of Knowing your Strengths

Our studies indicate that people who do have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life in general.

Simplification

Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing… layout, processes, and procedures.

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.

- John Maxwell, leadership specialist; author

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

Plan Your Professional and Personal Development

Personal and Professional Development are not an event, but a journey. We can never say, "We're done!" There is always something to learn for those with an open and enquiring mind. Don't leave your development to chance and other people's agendas. It's one of your most important assetts and something you are definitely and infinitely in control of. Take charge and consciously plot your own growth.

  • Plan your professional and personal development for the year.
  • Put in the rocks – key events that you really want to attend or achieve.
  • Plan your own year, and do the same for your team and your businmess or organisation – goals, action plans – start the year with a clear idea of where you’re going.

Circle of Influence

Coaching Thought:

'The world is perfect. It’s a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives'. – Joseph Campbell. What a great time to stop worrying about global events and take stock of our own backyards.

Change and Creative Vision

Coaching Thought:

'A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. '– Denis Waitley. It is also a preview of possibilities - if you have the courage to pursue it.

    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.

  • 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
