Transcripts
leading people means you must create an
environment of open assertive and
effective communication within the team
we discussed how you can communicate
your vision as well as communicate for
operational excellence in the previous
modules in this lesson I want to talk
about how enhancing communication skills
As Leaders can ensure better
collaboration increased transparency and
more effective conflict
resolution effective team communication
hinges on the ability to express
thoughts and emotions clearly and
respectfully as a leader your
assertiveness is key it will allow you
to convey your messages confidently and
constructively without resorting to
passive or aggressive behaviors
assertiveness involves expressing your
own thoughts feelings and needs directly
and appropriately without infringing on
the rights of others it's about being
honest and straightforward while also
being respectful and
considerate to communicate assertively
use eye statements to express your
feelings and thoughts for example you
can start with I have the impression
that this ensures that the other person
gets an idea about your opinion clearly
assertiveness is a skill gained through
practice here are some tips for you in
regard to what your content should look
like in order to be assertive these are
start with yourself speaking in the eye
form and name the facts you want to
discuss then talk about your feelings
and the negative
consequences then discuss potential
agreements or propos Solutions highlight
the positive consequences that would
come with the these agreements or
Solutions and finally ask a closing
question to confirm the
agreement to be assertive you have to be
prepared get straight to the point and
focus on the facts concisely without
interpretations make sure that you stay
calm at all
times as you notice an important aspect
of assertive communication is expressing
your
emotions expressing emotions effectively
in the workplace is crucial for
maintaining professional relationships
and a healthy work environment you
should encourage your teams to
articulate their emotions verbally which
can help in understanding each other's
perspectives and reducing
misunderstandings you should learn and
teach your team members to name their
emotions and the reasons behind them
instead of expressing them through
harmful actions or tones
for instance instead of showing your
frustration through passive aggressive
behavior you can say I'm frustrated
because I feel my input was not
considered in the decision- making
process do you notice that this way of
expressing emotions is done in a light
yet assertive
manner the last aspect of communication
I want to focus on is feedback
mechanisms this is a critical component
of effective team
communication it not only AIDS in
personal and professional growth but
also enhances the team's overall
performance as the leader of the team it
is your responsibility to implement
effective feedback
mechanisms I like to use a simple model
when providing feedback the SBI model it
stands for situation behavior and impact
use it to structure your feedback in
three parts first is describe the
situation second expand on what was the
behavior you observed and third and last
what impact did the behavior have in the
situation once you provide the feedback
it is also important that you allow the
other person time to self-reflect and to
respond the end goal of a feedback is to
find areas of improvement in the future
so after this you should State the
expected Behavior and the impact it
would have on the situation
as a leader it is not that you will only
provide feedback it's crucial that you
also seek feedback or receive it
gracefully when someone provides it when
you receive feedback from your
colleagues make sure that you first show
appreciation for it then analyze and
think about it and possibly share what
actions you are going to take with the
other party you can use the same
situation Behavior impact model to
create the action remember that you
should focus on providing constructive
and specific feedback and avoid personal
critique concentrate on behaviors and
actions that can be changed or improved
for example instead of saying you are
not contributing enough to the team use
the SBI model to say I have noticed that
during the team meetings you've been
quiet since everyone is pitching in with
their expertise we are missing out on
the value you can add
why is that and how could we help you to
contribute more
effectively I want to reiterate that you
should Implement regular structured
feedback sessions that allow every team
member to express concerns share
successes and discuss improvements this
can be on the agenda for your monthly or
quarterly meetings or be independent
regular sessions if you start using the
above techniques yourself then you will
see that your team will probably start
mimicking you effective communication is
critical to build and to sustain High
performing teams you should focus on
applying these communication strategies
in your daily interactions and training
your team in these as well
