Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about. Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.
A lot of problems in the world would be solved if we talked to each other instead of about each other. In teamwork, silence isn't golden, it's deadly. Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than the one where they sprang up.
"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."-George Bernard Shaw. To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.
Communicate in a respectful manner, don't just tell your team members what you want but explain to them why. Communication; the human connection is the key to personal and career success.
The art of communication is the language of leadership. Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. None of us is as smart as all of us. It's amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. Success is best when it's shared.
