COMMUNICATION HABITS THAT MUST BE BROKEN (Part 2)
A tyrant says, “Do this now!”
A leader says, “Will you please make sure you get this done right away? I need the (result) by (a certain time).”Or they can be expressed by a written thank you note or a public recognition. Showing gratitude is not only good manners, but it makes people WANT to do things for you.
A tyrant says, “Get me a report!”
4. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY
Do not lie about anything or anyone. That’s so basic it shouldn’t be said. Some types of lies include:
exaggerations
fabrications
saying something is done when it is not
misrepresenting the truth
Just be honest and you will never have to remember what you said.
5. RETURN CALLS AND E-MAILS
No one should have to make two calls to get you to respond. You don’t have to inconvenience yourself, jut make a quick call and say, I’ve only got a minute, but I wanted to return your call. The same applies to e-mail.
These are just a few bad communication habits that should be consciously broken. There are many more, but this is enough to get you started. Please visit, http://www.communicationessence.com
