Communication is the real work of leadership; you simply can’t become a great leader until you are a great communicator. Nothing happens until something is communicated. Great communicators inspire people. They create a connection that is real, emotional, and personal. And great communicators forge this connection through an understanding of people and an ability to speak directly to their needs in a manner that they are ready to hear.
Let’s look at the 10 secrets to being a great communicator…
- Build relationships first.
- Be authentic, honest and open.
- Talk so people will listen.
- Listen so people will talk.
- Connect emotionally.
- Read body language.
- Prepare your message.
- Practice active listening.
- Clear and concise.
- Confident and consistent.
Now that you have the 10 secrets, how will you take one, two or three actions to ensure this becomes a habit that develops you into a great communicator?
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.” – Socrates.
