THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY ON - COMMUNICATION

"Let's cease thinking of our accomplishments, our wants. Let's try to figure out the other man's good points. Then forget flattery. Give honest, sincere appreciation. Be hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise, and people will cherish your words and treasure them and repeat them over a lifetime - repeat them years after you have forgotten them." - Dale Carnegie

"When you speak, your talk must be emotionally and intellectually satisfying." - Patricia Fripp

"For effective communication, use brevity. Jesus said, 'Follow me.' Now that's brief! He could be brief because of all that he was that he didn't have to say." - Jim Rohn

"Be positive, pleasant, patient and easygoing - no matter how busy you really are." - Brian Tracy

GETTING THROUGH
By Dr. John C. Maxwell

In many ways, life is all about communicating. And nowhere is it more critical to be a strong communicator than in leading people and organizations. The best business leaders have the ability to effectively explain business fundamentals, strategy, alternatives, challenges and action plans in ways that tap into their employees' sense of meaning.

Many people think they are communicating when they provide information in the form of memos, e-mails, reports and the like. But they're not. Information is giving out; communication is getting through. As you can imagine, there is a world of difference between giving out facts, figures and other material and actually getting through to people.

I can't offer you one surefire method of communicating that is guaranteed to make your audience understand you completely every time you open your mouth. I can, however, describe nine vehicles that--when viewed correctly and used consistently--can help you get through more often. Here they are:

1. Behavior.
It's a clichi, but it's true. Actions really do speak louder than words.

2. Relationships.
The better the relationship, the better the communication.

3. Emotions.
Laughter, tears, nervousness, anger--such emotions add a human dimension to your words and make what you're saying all the more powerful.

4. Values.
When strong, consistent values are evident in your daily life, you enhance your credibility, which, in turn, improves your chances of being heard and understood.

5. Words.
Whether written or spoken, words obviously are an integral part of communication. But don't use them carelessly. Good communicators stay away from sloppy grammar, foul language, run-on sentences and muddled explanations.

6. Listening.
Communication isn't one-sided. Listening is one of the best ways you can truly connect with someone.

7. Expressions.
If your mouth is saying one thing and your face is saying something else, your audience will listen to your face, every time. If you want to get through, make sure your expressions match your words.

8. Compassion.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. If you want your communication to be effective, don't be afraid to show that you care.

9. Change.
I'm not talking about change in a general sense here. I'm talking about personal change. It might involve breaking a bad habit, adjusting an attitude, revising expectations or even learning a new skill. Whatever the case, changing something about yourself can often open the door to improved communication.

I've given you nine ways to get through. But the communication puzzle has one more very important piece: integration.

Let me explain. If you use four of the nine of the nine vehicles consistently, you'll be a much better communicator than if you only use two of them. If you use eight of the nine, you'll get through more often than if you only use five. In other words, the more of the nine ways you use when you communicate, the more effective you're going to be.

Do you want to get through to the people you lead? If you do, evaluate how well you're utilizing these nine vehicles and begin adding the missing elements, one by one.

Stop being an information provider and start communicating.
