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.
Communication Style of Great Leaders
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.’
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.
