Developing and Equipping leaders to lead cultures that WIN, KEEP, and INSPIRE top talent
Every great leader has the ability to communicate with clarity, purpose, and empathy. Yet, it’s never been easier for our message to miss the mark. Unfortunately, our fast-paced digitalized world results in a lot of confusion, frustrations, and loss of trust amongst leaders and team members.
?
The good news is, that it’s possible to increase the impact of your communication if you learn from some of the best. Here are 3 traits of ALL great communicators:
?
1. Tailored Messaging
Whether addressing their team, customers, or stakeholders, great communicators always consider their audience. Rather than expecting others to accept their natural communication style, they adjust their tone, style, and format to best convey their message.
?
Not only does a tailored approach signify your respect for your audience, but it also makes your communication far more impactful.
?
2. Complete Clarity
The best communicators avoid unnecessary details and added corporate jargon.
?
Have you ever listened to someone speak who used a lot of big words that made them sound super smart, but you never really understood the point they were trying to get across? Of course, we all have.
?
Instead, do your best to ensure every word you speak serves a purpose.
?
3. Empathy
At the heart of all great communication lies empathy. The better you understand the unique emotions, challenges, and motivations of your audience, the more influence you will have.
?
Actively listen to people's concerns. Acknowledge their feelings. Do whatever it takes to demonstrate that you value their perspective.
?
Empathy is the secret to turning transactional leadership into transformational leadership.
?
Remember this…
The best leaders and communicators listen, learn, and speak with a purpose.
