Well, it turns out that while those things are crucial to your professional success, it's imperative that you also have great soft skills-more commonly known as "people skills."

    Great article, I think it is really important for people to have strong people skills in the workplace and agree with the sentiment that having a good "people radar" is something that is difficult to teach where as technical skills can be taught to almost anyone.

How To Communicate Effectively At Work - Forbes - 23 views

  • “It is absolutely critical to be as direct, to the point and concise as possible,” she says, in a lively, forceful voice with a Philadelphia tinge. Vagueness is all too common in the workplace, she observes. Friedman’s fix: follow the newscaster’s drill of spelling out who, what, where, when and why.
  • Your attitude while talking is also important. “It’s not just your words that convey a message,” Friedman says. “It’s all of you.” If you slouch, jam your hands into your pockets, shuffle your feet and avoid eye contact, people will get the impression you don’t want to communicate with them. Pry your eyes and thumbs away from your electronic device, she admonishes. “Pretend that your colleague is your adorable five-year-old who you would drop everything for if she walked into the office,”
  • If you have bad news to deliver, lay it out plainly. It’s difficult to talk about layoffs and belt tightening, but if you’re in a situation where you have to convey that sort of information, your employees and colleagues likely already know something is up. It is far better to be straight with them than not to communicate at all, even if you can’t give them the answers they’d like. Always deliver bad news in person. It may seem easier to convey negative information via e-mail, but imagine how you’d feel if you learned electronically that your best work friend had been sacked, vs. hearing it from another human being.

    Given the title I thought the communication strategy in the article would be quite abrasive however Friedman's strategy seems to be more about being clear and concise in the workplace, respecting your colleagues and giving everyone a chance to have an opinion.

    As international student, this article has helped me to understand about Australian workplace communication culture. I argee that it is critical to be as direct and concise because it will save time and avoid confusion or distraction. However, body language is also an important aspect of communication at workplace as they say 30% depends on verbal and 70% is on non-verbal. A friendly non-verbal gesture such as smile or eye-contact, open arms can create a comfortable enviroment between the speakers and the listeners.

    Communicating effectively at work eliminates misunderstanding. Work environments need efficient communication to allow you to achieve more in less time, and in a professional manner.
  •  
    It's interesting how this article not just talks about how to communicate effectively in the work place but uses real life example of Karen Friedman's book and how she listed and gave some examples which tend to work more effectively. It was more like a book review.
  •  
    Effective workplace communication is important in companies with workplace diversity. Good communication skills help to reduce the barriers erected because of language and cultural differences. Companies that provide communication training to domestic and international employees reap the benefits of effective workplace communication.

Do your counterparts see you as a pushover or a jerk? Study shows you may be oblivious - 2 views

  •  
    When considering how your boss, co-workers, or other professional contacts behave, it's likely you can quickly pick out "the jerk," and "the pushover" in the crowd. But, have you ever stopped to think how your counterparts view you? Perhaps you assume you have a reputation as being "tough," or maybe you like to play the part of "the nice guy," but there's evidence that shows you may be completely oblivious to the way other people actually see you.
