Leaders Who Are Great Communicators Do These 6 Things

While having an aspirational vision or a well-thought-out strategy are keys for becoming a successful leader; however, your vision and strategy won’t translate to reality if you cannot communicate them effectively.

Take Gerard, a regional manager at a medium-sized business, as an example. During a coaching session, he raved about how he communicated the team’s new strategy coming out of COVID at his latest all-hands team meeting.

While I typically take leaders at their word, I was a bit stunned because my interviews with his team members told me a different story. 

These are just a few of the things they said:

“He said so much; I don’t even know where to start.” 

“He was so focused on his role; he forgot the challenges I face in mine.”
