Using Communication to Motivate Others
Communicating effectively involves both understanding and being understood. That is what leaders do! Good communication is all about quality and not about quantity. Less is more when it comes to communicating if it is done right. Often, if communication is not done right, it just causes more problems.
How to influence others when you communicate:
1. Start out by asking yourself what it is that you want to communicate with the other party. Communicate intentionally and make sure that you know what you want to get out of from the conversation, e-mail, phone call, or speech.
2. Focus on quality and not the quantity of the communication.
3. Communicate with compassion, enthusiasm, and energy.
4. Focus on the listener and not the communicator. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.
5. Simplify the message. Leaders de-complicate the world and make it easy for everyone to understand.
