Communicating for Results
If you believe that your personal objective as a leader is to get results, you'll
certainly appreciate the importance of communicating clearly, in a manner that motivates
your people instead of confusing them or making them resentful. The big difference in
people, their organizations and their competitive vitality is how well they communicate
with one another. This module provides guidelines on how a leader can effectively
communicate to employees, peers, and management while avoiding breakdowns in
communications.
Listening Techniques
Listening is the form of communication most often employed during an average day.
Psychologists tell us that the average person, during a typical day, spends 42% of the
time listening, 32% talking, 15% reading, and 11% writing. They also tell us that we miss
about 85% of what we do hear. This module stresses the fact that listening is an active
process that is critical to performing well as a leader. Key actions are provided to
enhance the participants' ability to listen more productively.
Critical Information Gathering
A history of "fighting fires" in an organization may sometimes cause a leader to
make snap judgments that lead to even greater problems. The ability to gather quality,
in-depth information is a critical skill that is seldom taught to today's aspiring
leaders. This module offers guidelines for effectively gathering the required information
that will result in making the most productive decision - regardless of the situation.
Communicating Ideas
Much of a leader's effectiveness is often measured by his/her ability to successfully
communicate a thought or idea. It may involve presenting a new innovative approach, giving
directions, or defining policies and procedures. Leaders are not born with this skill - it
must be developed through preparation and practice. This module provides a game plan to
follow to insure that your idea is fully understood - whether written or spoken, delivered
to an individual or a large group.
Managing Time and Tasks
True time management has little, if anything, to do with the clock - the secret to
managing time is controlling events rather than minutes and hours. Participants will learn
the importance of utilizing Time Spheres and Action Grids; establishing, enhancing, and
maintaining powerful internal and external networks; and the power of proper delegation.
Setting Goals for Productivity
While most everyone professes to understand and utilize goal-setting techniques, research
finds the opposite to be true. Research also reveals that those who have consistently used
goal-setting techniques have excelled in every aspect of their lives. This module defines
the various types of goals, provides 12 basic guidelines for goal-setting, identifies
obstacles, and reveals the power of networking, visualization, and action planning.
