Effective Communication Leads to Understanding - 2 views

  •  
    Covey's point about the four responses is very interesting. I think the first point is particularly important (evaluate whether they will agree or disagree) in order to see if there is any chance of communicating with the person effectively at all.
  •  
    I agree with the first point. It evaluates whether the parties agree or disagree in order to see if communication can be effective or not

Richard Branson: 'Communication Is The Most Important Skill Any Leader Can Possess' - F... - 2 views

  • Great performers understand that communication is an art and takes practice to refine. When Jay Leno was hosting The Tonight Show, he would leave the taping on Friday and head to Las Vegas or another city for a series of standup shows. Leno would do 100 to 150 acts a year even when he had a full-time job because he had to stay sharp. When is the last time you practiced any presentation 150 times, or even 20 times? Speaking of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon rehearses his monologue in front of a live audience earlier in the day. He has a pen and paper in hand and makes notes of what gets a laugh and what doesn’t. These comedians do not rely on a scientific algorithm to develop their jokes.

      This is some practical advice and reminds us that these skills aren't born but that they can be developed.
  •  
    I'm absolutely agree with the idea of this article because practice makes perfect. If a senior or manager without good communication skills, they will have difficulties in expressing their opinion or ideas to others to understand them.
  •  
    I certainly agree with the concept that this article is trying to convey. Effective communication skills can easily be learnt, with practise and good people skills.
  •  
    Communication is a skill that can be developed and is key to leadership success. Without effective communication it's impossible to become a great leader. Additionally, the leading plans and ideas never find success without good communication

How one CCG is using Facebook to improve communication | Healthcare Professionals Netwo... - 0 views

  • These online platforms are already transforming the way we operate by allowing an instantaneous flow of information and suggestions on how best to manage local healthcare services.
  • Thanks to social media, we no longer need to rely on face-to-face meetings or long chains of emails to share ideas and hold discussions. It is like an online meeting with real-time minutes that can be easily accessed and updated at any time.
  • The ease with which local information like this can be accessed is proving beneficial for all kinds of doctors. While there are still a number of GPs who do not use social media, newly qualified doctors have found our group particularly useful when familiarising themselves with services in the area.

  • Concerns will always exist around internet security and privacy for instance, though we have mitigated these with meticulous moderation and full use of Facebook's multitude of security settings. All of the group's conversations are "closed" and only visible to group members. Instead, we use our Twitter feed to keep the public up-to-date on our work.
  • Doctors' online conduct is also a concern. Most health professionals are sensible in their social media etiquette. But there is always the risk that GPs will share inappropriate material or identifiable information about patients.

A New Stress on Communication Skills - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • ''Most important, I tell people to try to not be so intent on scoring their own points that they miss the gist of what someone else is saying to them,'' Ms. Conrad said. ''Too much conversation is really confrontation. In business, you've got to keep your emotions out of the discussion if you want to hear things right.''

      Important point--it's so easy to get lost in what you think is right
  • 'Speaking, you have the opportunity to bring the force of your personality into play.'' she said. ''Some of the things I teach people is how to use eye contact and body language effectively to emphasize a point and how to modulate their voices to keep out patronizing, petulant or aggressive tones that turn off an audience.''
  • I teach managers how to use humor to their advantage in dealing with employees.''
    • nathan100930819
       
      An interesting approach, though a person should be careful when dealing with people from a different cultural background as they might not 'get' the humour.
