Learning Objective
At the end of this lesson, student will able to:
1. Be a good leader and communicate effectively.
2. Eliminate misunderstanding and can encourage a peaceful work
environment.
Introduction
It is imperative in a leadership role that you communicate effectively.
An age old aphorism goes, “It’s not what you say, but how you say
it.” Communication is what separates a poor leader from an exceptional one.
Having effective communication skills is the key to good leadership.
The moment you get the lines of communication open with your co-
worker, the process of carrying out tasks and projects will most likely go by
smoothly. Plus you will be surprised how meeting targets will become a
whole lot easier.
1. Open Meeting
It is easier to communicate your passion and how you feel to your
team via open meetings. In this kind of forum, they will not only hear what
you are saying, they will also see and feel it. This approach still remains one
of the best approaches to communicate effectively with a team.
2. Emails
In official settings, communication via email remains potent. It will
enable you to pass messages to members of your team without pulling them
out of their work stations.
3. One on One
Experts have been able to prove that some people understand better
when you take them aside and talk to them on a one-on-one basis. Ensure
that you maintain eye contact with them to enable the message to sink in.
1. Use Presentations
Some people grasp messages easily when pictures and sounds are
involved. Using presentations like Microsoft Power Point to communicate
with your team will give them the opportunity to refer back to it if they aren’t
clear about certain things.
5. Use Visuals
Place visuals at strategic positions around the work stations of your
team. They should not just hear the message, they should also see it. This
gives room for better comprehension.
12. Be Humorous
Using friendly jokes when communicating with your team members
will help pass your message along in a more relaxed way. This method of
communication has been proven to be a highly effective way of dousing
tension. When the atmosphere is unfriendly and intense, being humorous
does the trick. If you must use jokes, please don’t overdo it. Remember, you
are not a stand-up comedian.
13. Be Articulate
Communication is indeed a skill that must be learned by all,
especially if you want to lead any group of people. Being articulate when you
communicate to your team members makes it easier for them to understand
your message.
16. Gesticulate
Use your hands to demonstrate your message. Make hand motions
and signals to establish the seriousness of your subject matter when
communicating with your team members. This shows that you understand
what you are trying to relay to them. Just don’t let your body movement
become too exaggerated and intense.
17. Be Appreciative
After every communication session, via whatever means you have
decided, always remember to thank your listeners for their time. It will cost
you nothing and it’s a simple courtesy.
Remember that the point of working as a team is to share ideas and boost
productivity. When communication is hampered, it can sidetrack the entire
effort. You must work hard at these communication tactics and create ground
rules to keep everyone up to date, which helps avoid confusion and ensure the
completion of the project with ease.
