8 Ways to Communicate Effectively

• Is there anything more important in an organisation than effective communication?
• Is there anything more dangerous and costly than ineffective communication?
  Someone says “yes, I agree” ….. but do they?Or “yes I’m happy with the outcome” ……. but are they?

We are all relatively confident in our ability to communicate a message or delegate a task, but therein lies the problem. That is our Achilles heel!

Consider the following complexities …….

• It is more important to think about what the listener does with our message than what our message does to the listener.
• Listeners generally interpret messages in ways which make them feel comfortable and secure.
• When people’s attitudes are attacked head on, they will likely defend those attitudes and in the process, reinforce them.
• People pay most attention to messages that are relevant to their own circumstances and point of view.
• People insecure in relationships are unlikely to be good listeners, and even more unlikely to admit to a lack of understanding.
