??Emotionally Intelligent Leaders Create Psychologically Safe Organizations?? How can leaders strategically improve upon #EI? ? Encourage personnel to voice alternative points of view, listen with intent, and refrain from trying to convince them to agree with you ? Take a contemporary leadership course or get coaching from a person with differing approaches to promote a #growthmindset ? Improve social skills by focusing on group and individual engagement of personnel to seek out new ideas and perspectives, improving approachability ? Self-regulate when faced with a stressful situation instead of reacting impulsively (i.e., brisk 10-min walk, breathing exercises, stretching) ? Interact regularly with people from differing backgrounds outside of your traditional social and professional circle to increase empathy, understanding, and awareness #emotionalintelligence #psychologicalsafety #coachingservices #mindfulleadership

Hierarchal Organization Communication Problems ? The structure of communicating up and down the pyramid is not just rooted in power and control; it is designed to maintain the status quo. This design excludes many voices and hinders transparency ? Each level in the hierarchy is filtering the intended communication, which could include adding or detracting to a message based on personal preference, job security, or even fear ? Spamming personnel with emails is not communicating; it is blasting information and lacks strategic intent ? The feedback loop is non-existent, as personnel at lower levels may be too afraid to communicate valuable information to leaders ? Functional information silos may operate in isolation and hinders subject matter experts' ability to collaborate openly, and diminishes outside-the-box thinking ?? ?? STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION TIPS ?? ?? ? CEOs and executive staff should interact with ground-level personnel on routine, impromptu visits, encouraging Q &A, elevating problems, and communicating solutions ? Utilize town halls and multi-functional teams to communicate information to gain feedback and address possible concerns before issuing a directive created within the ivory tower ? Allow for an anonymous complaint mechanism for the CEO to access directly, as personnel within the hierarchy should be hiding critical problems to protect themselves and their functional area from accountability ? Train managers and team members on how to create a #psychologicallysafe work environment and hold people accountable when they do not meet expectations ? Eliminate meetings where report/slide reading is the norm and retrain these leaders on how to communicate a strategic message to the right people, utilizing the most effective platform #strategicommunicationtips #workplacecommunication
