If the Shoe Fits: Good Communications
by Miki Saxon
Do you consider yourself a good communicator?
Do you provide clear, concise, useable information and instructions to your people?
Are you sure?
Or are they clear, concise and useable inside your head, but your people hear something different?
The same words mean different things to different people, so what you say and what your team hears may be “off” one degree or ten degrees (or more) creating development problems and missed opportunities, not to mention tensions and negative reactions.
Obviously, the goal is to clarify your communications, but it’s not enough to “spell it out” if you spell in Latin and your people hear in Russian, Finnish, Kligon, whatever.
One of the unspoken tenets of good leadership/management is that understandable communications are the boss’ responsibility.
That’s you.
