Lesson 1: Describing futures with clarity<\/h2>\n

How can you be a great communicator as a leader?<\/h3>\n

We’ve covered what obstacles you might face and how to overcome them but there’s another way to look at it. How can you be a great communicator as a leader? We’ve prepared a few ways where you can be an expert in effective communication.
\u00a0<\/h5>\n
The following are common obstacles and how to overcome them that great leaders must know if they want to be a great leader<\/h5>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Resistance to Change
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
When leaders resist change, they often make mistakes and communicate poorly
Leaders who resist change would be too busy resisting
that they ignore one of their fundamental duties which is putting the right processes in place and therefore, fail as a leader
Always embrace change, change is a constant and will always happen, search for the pros in the change and maximize it.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Uncertainty or ambiguity
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
This can occur when a leader or leadership team doesn’t know what to say or how to properly get the message across.
To convey a clear message and make your point understood, you need to provide the context your team can understand.
Also if you have uncertainty, you won’t be able to represent your team’s achievements properly and you will ultimately not succeed in making them feel seen and appreciated
Pick your words carefully, speak slowly, and take time before responding, it will improve your certainty.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Organisational conflicts
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Conflicts in the workplace arise for many reasons and can be a major obstacle to effective communication.
Conflicts can be seen as an obstacle or an opportunity. A great leader sees the opportunity in conflicts.
Conflicts are a great opportunity to improve communication and find solutions to the conflict at hand<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Different communication styles
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Everyone has their own communication preferences
Some people want a direct approach, others prefer a more indirect one.
This also takes in too many assumptions and perspectives, as leaders and employees have different ideas and perspectives on the message being conveyed.
Understanding that everyone has their own communication style and picking the right style for the right person for the right conversation
is a skill that everyone will admire you for
The key here is to observe first and then react second<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Overwhelming
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Having constant distractions kill everyone’s ability to focus on communication due to busy environments, emails, phone calls, or other disruptions.
Do your best to pick the right time to communicate with people and do even more in picking the right times to respond
If you’re too distracted and overwhelmed, you might respond incorrectly or impulsively.
Making sure that people understand that you’re busy right now and that you’ll get back to them after a certain amount of time, will help everyone around you to have their expectations set.
And of course, with your observation, you can notice when someone is too overwhelmed and pick to withdraw yourself
and discuss stuff later when the person is more attentive and free, will get you what you want in a calm environment, and will make sure that you’ve heard.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Not differentiating between communication channels
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Missing ways to get your message across or not knowing how to properly communicate through different channels, such as face-to-face, email, and meetings
Not every communication is the same, how you speak with someone in a formal meeting is definitely different than how you would speak to them over a cigarette break
Knowing the right place for the right words requires you to be patient and smart
The easiest way to do so is to see how others are doing it in different environments and then put your own unique touch to it without being too disruptive
some people wouldn’t tell you if they are inconvenienced with your way of communication until it’s too late.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Dishonesty or Lack of transparency
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Effective communication cannot occur when trust is lacking and leaders withhold certain information
that should be out there or mask it in a vague way to appear mysterious, doesn’t make you look cool
It makes you look dishonest and makes the communication lack a lot of necessary transparency.
Convey information as it is and if you need to do something about it, make it sweet and gentle even if it’s direct information
You have the choice to be an effective smart communicator rather than a person who lies or hides stuff.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Lack of listening
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
As mentioned in the listening and how important it is, leaders need to listen more, if not more than they speak
There’s a great quote that says “If I speak, I would be repeating what I know, But if I listen, I might be learning something new.”
You need to be a leader who listens, you might be missing something or the solution might be even right there if you would just listen
We can’t stress enough how important it is to be a good listener but trust me, it will affect everything around you.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
