My business coach and mentor <a href=\"http:\/\/successlabceo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Peter Gregg<\/a> suggested, in his gentle way, that my communication effectiveness was coming up short. It was holding me back as a team leader.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gregg encouraged me to read a book called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Leader-Effectiveness-Training-L-T\/dp\/0399527133\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3MB5D4QXVV0EN&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=leadership+effectiveness+training&amp;qid=1617233929&amp;sprefix=leadership+effectiv%2Caps%2C207&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">L.E.T. Leadership Effectiveness Training<\/a> by Dr. Thomas Gordon with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gordontraining.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gordon Training International<\/a>. Reading this book sparked a life-long interest in leadership and communication effectiveness. It has literally shaped every facet of my life since.<\/p>\n<p>The book changed my understanding of the subject and my communication practices more than any other reading or training I\u2019ve done since. It affected my career development, how I run my business and interact with clients and colleagues, my parenting; how I deal with conflict; and how I approach sales and marketing. I can\u2019t think of a book that has had more of an impact on my <a href=\"https:\/\/accruemarketing.com\/ways-of-being\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">way of being<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend the book to people all the time. And I just realized I\u2019ve never written a post about it or the topic of communication effectiveness before\u2014time to rectify that omission.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">What is Communication Effectiveness?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/businessjargons.com\/effective-communication.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Business Jargon<\/a> defines it aptly as \u201ca communication between two or more persons wherein the intended message is successfully delivered, received and understood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They add that \u201c\u2026communication is said to be effective when all the parties (sender and receiver) in the communication assign similar meanings to the message and listen carefully to what all have been said and make the sender feel heard and understood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Effective communication is far more involved than simply trying to speak directly and unambiguously. The goal is to understand whether effective communication has occurred in a manner that does not create or escalate the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Validating mutual understanding without generating conflict, was not at all how I approached communication as a leader.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">Why is Communication Effectiveness Important for Business Leaders?<\/h3>\n<p>When you boil any company down, what you\u2019re left with is people. You\u2019re selling to, serving, or collaborating with other people. Your ability to lead your people and their ability to communicate effectively with each other and your clients is about as fundamental as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, darn few companies invest much time and effort to develop communication skills, and it shows. More than anything, your communication translates into the experience people have with you.<\/p>\n<p>In the marketing world, the experience you create for staff and clients is called <a href=\"https:\/\/accruemarketing.com\/product\/branding-and-identity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">branding<\/a>. It\u2019s not your logo; it\u2019s about the experience people have and the resulting reputation you develop over time.<\/p>\n<p>The bulk of that reputation is built upon human-to-human interactions. For these interactions to be effective, they need to leave people feeling welcome, heard, and understood.<\/p>\n<p>If you care about sales, profitability, and the experience you create, as well as your culture, morale, retention, efficacy, and productivity, then communication effectiveness needs to find its way onto your leadership and corporate development priority list.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">Diversity, Equity and Inclusion<\/h3>\n<p>With the current political correctness, public shaming, and cancel culture in play, combined with the ease and speed of the internet, you can no longer afford to ignore poor communication practices. The risks associated with ineffective communication have gone through the roof.<\/p>\n<p>Becoming an inclusive organization, at the core, occurs through effective communication practices. Without it, investments into diversity, equity and inclusion training are academic.<\/p>\n<p>Good intentions don\u2019t translate into respectful conversations. People need to develop real practical leadership and communication skills to change how they interact with others.<\/p>\n<p>You can educate people about bias and micro-aggressions all you want, but without respect-based communication skills, people may struggle to implement what they learn.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">Personal and Organizational Performance<\/h3>\n<p>Communication effectiveness forms the root of your organizational effectiveness as well. Ineffective communication creates waste, delays, and hard feelings that escalate into conflict and worse.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">Back to the L.E.T. Book<\/h3>\n<p>I recall when I first read L.E.T. and learned about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gordonmodel.com\/work-roadblocks.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">12 communication roadblocks.<\/a> I was frustrated to realize I was regularly using all 12 of them. Despite busting my butt to communicate with my team, I was doing everything wrong. At that time, these roadblocks were all I knew.<\/p>\n<p>It became clear if I wanted to be a leader and an effective consultant, I needed to develop some new skills.<\/p>\n<p>L.E.T. offered a highly effective alternative. The book introduced me to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gordontraining.com\/free-workplace-articles\/active-listening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Active Listening,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gordontraining.com\/leadership\/everything-need-know-confrontive-messages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Confrontive I-Messages,<\/a> Problem Ownership and the concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=szj93fquJ-g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Behaviour Window.<\/a> It was truly an aha experience. It gave me a new way to think about and practice communicating with people. And it was easy. It was based on respect and accountability. The best thing about it was how well it worked. I was sold.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after being introduced to the methodology, my wife became a certified trainer in the approach. We used it for communicating with each other and as the basis for our parenting. It sparked a revolution in personal growth for our family.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">What Came Next?<\/h3>\n<p>I learned that communication effectiveness is a big subject with many facets. I was hooked and went looking for more. The most important resources I encountered as a result of L.E.T. included:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Socratic Method. It\u2019s so old and yet such a powerful communication practice. It\u2019s based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and is relevant to modern coaching practices. For a practical reference on asking questions, have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Coaching-Habit-Less-Change-Forever\/dp\/0978440749\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=The+socratic+method&amp;qid=1616985723&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Coaching Habit<\/a> by Michael Stanier.<\/li>\n<li>Learning how to delegate effectively from a book called: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Want-Done-Right-Dont-Yourself\/dp\/1884956327\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=93ON384RAHZH&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=if+you+want+it+done+right+you+dont+have+to+do+it+yourself&amp;qid=1617218113&amp;sprefix=if+you+want+it+done+%2Caps%2C220&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you want it done right, you don\u2019t have to do it yourself<\/a> by Donna M.

Gillihan, PhD. These topics have more to do with communication practices than you might realize.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">The Bottomline on Communication Effectiveness<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve been learning about effective communication for over 25 years. But it does not take decades to learn. What you need is context and a roadmap to understand how to approach the learning.<\/p>\n<p>Developing random communication skills is not enough. To be effective, you need context.<\/p>\n<p>The skills themselves are simple once you see how the pieces fit together. Unfortunately, we\u2019re presented with bits and pieces of the communication puzzle out of context. We find random puzzle pieces from time to time, but we have no picture of how the pieces fit together.<\/p>\n<p>People need a guide\u2014a coach to provide context and skills development to lead them down the communication effectiveness path.<\/p>\n<p>Although I know several experts in specific areas of communication, I only know one person who leads people through the entire communication effectiveness journey\u2014Laura Watson of <a href=\"https:\/\/venturecoaching.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Venture Coaching.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Okay, I\u2019m biased because I\u2019m married to Laura. However, that does not change the fact that I have not encountered another full-spectrum communication coach. Laura has made dealing with conflict and communication effectiveness for business leaders her life\u2019s work. She drives me nuts with her dedication and consistency to best communication practices.<\/p>\n<p>Although I\u2019ve done similar learning, I\u2019ll never be as focused and effective at guiding people through the day-to-day practice of effective communication as she is.<\/p>\n<p>Learning effective communication skills transformed my business leadership, my marriage, and my parenting. If you or your team of in-house leaders want to take on the communication effectiveness journey, I recommend you start by reading L.E.T. Dive into the other resources I\u2019ve listed and engage a leadership and communication effectiveness coach to guide the way. You\u2019ll greatly expedite the learning and the results that come from your effort and investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Foundation Every Brand Is Built Upon \u00a0Print This Post My introduction to communication effectiveness was shortly after I got my first professional management role in the early 1990s.
