I can not agree less. Listening enables one to understand message and carry out the task given to you appropriately. I always encourage my subordinates to listen passionately and follow up with to clear grey area especially when being given a task to perform. I've discovered that those you ask follow up questions are usually the ones who perform the task satisfactorily and always work in tandem with my organisation's goal

Time is of essence and no-one wants to waste it. When you are not communicating clearly, people being spoken to lose interest in what you are saying, you have ended up not achieving anything. I suggest before you communicate, put your thoughts together and begin with the most important points to the least important. On the contrary, when you have a very good idea but communicating it in a muffled voice you play down the idea. People will feel you have wasted their time and on the other hand the respect they have for you is gone. This happens when you are communicating to them for the first time.

3 Positive Framing

Positioning your messages with a positive frame can greatly influence how you're perceived and increase your chances for a promotion. Positive framing doesn't mean ignoring challenges; rather, it means focusing on solutions and opportunities when discussing problems. This approach demonstrates your problem-solving abilities and your optimistic outlook, qualities that are highly valued in leadership roles. By mastering positive framing, you show that you're not just capable of handling increased responsibility but that you'll do so with a constructive attitude.

4 Non-Verbal Cues

Non-verbal communication often speaks louder than words, especially when you're being considered for a promotion. Your body language, eye contact, and even your attire contribute to the message you send to your colleagues and superiors. Maintaining a professional demeanor, dressing appropriately for your role, and using positive body language can reinforce the verbal communication skills you're employing. These non-verbal cues can subtly yet significantly impact how others perceive your readiness for advancement.

Dressing appropriately is one thing that helped me in the past during one of my promotion exam. We were 6 candidates and among the six of us, I dressed in corporate wear and that impressed my examiners. In fact one of them described the other 5 as not serious and enquired whether they think it's child's play. They were all causually dressed maybe because they believe it was an internal examination and does not need a formal dressing. They got it wrong. They were not interviewed same day with me. Aside that show you are incharge and answer questions confidently even we you not sure of the answers. It's better than keeping quiet.

Receiving constructive criticism with shows you openness to grow but it demonstrates your wisdom.. And wisdom is said to be the key to success. You know what? Some people do not know how to give constructive criticism, the correct mistakes sarcastically not minding how you feel. I advise, if you are working in such environment, take criticism and pay attention to your mistakes they are pointing out. Don't allow their adverse criticism to affect your performance. Speak to yourself and brace up to the challenges. I have witnessed this scenario in my office and I am still pushing inspire of damaging comments about me
