Part of a leader’s job is to generate commitment to the organization’s vision. Learn what vision is and our tips for communicating vision so that it matters to employees.
Effective communication is more complicated than a “2-way street.”
Leaders at all levels need to know a whole lot more than the mechanics of sending and receiving information.
They need to be skilled communicators in countless relationships at the organizational level, in communities and groups, and sometimes on a global scale.
So how do you connect leadership and communication at your organization?
In both leadership and in communication, authenticity counts — a lot. People want, respect, and will follow authentic leadership. Let who you are, where you come from, and what you value come through in your communication.
Visibility is another key. Be present, visible, and available for all stakeholder groups. People need to see and feel who you are to feel connected to the work you want them to do.
The best leaders are good communicators, and the best communicators are good listeners. Listening fosters trust, respect, and openness.
And don’t forget, leadership and communication skills aren’t limited to spoken and written messages. Your behavior gives people information about your disposition, opinion, or mood — regardless of the words you speak.
Leadership communication courses can equip leaders to think with clarity, express ideas, and share information more effectively with a multitude of audiences. After taking leadership communication training, managers are often better able to handle and share rapid flows of information within the organization, and among customers and other stakeholders.
