    Do you think you're qualified for a particular job, fit to lead a team, or entitled to a promotion because you have extensive experience and highly developed technical skills? 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.

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.
  • baochau on 07 Apr 16
     
    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.
  • aliciatokay on 10 Apr 16
     
    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.
  • mn8082 on 20 Apr 16
     
    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

    I really agree with the way show effective of communication in life of this article. Most of us agree that communication skills can be a positive influence to our relationships so we should noticed more some points as depending on the subjects or stituation of communication that you have flexible and appropriate behaviour, do not criticize or strong reaction, etc.

    Whether you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or a teenage entrepreneur just starting out, communication skills are vitally important. Great leaders motivate, encourage and inspire. They also train people, share new ideas and negotiate. These activities have one thing in common: They all require excellent communication.

  • ''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.

  • '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.''

Is technology making us less human? | TechRadar - 7 views

shared by choydannie on 09 Apr 16 - No Cached
  • Here's a new term to consider: sensory dynamism. The concept has to do with our perception. When you look out of a window, you perceive millions of variances - colour, perspective, sound, feeling, and many others. But when you gaze at an iPad, you're sensing just a few variables - and with email and SMS, you may barely be using your senses. That could pose a problem in the long run for future human development.
  • naargishai on 09 Apr 16
     
    I sure think so. Technology does not allow us to communicate with our surroundings like we used to 10 years ago. Kids today are glued to their Ipads rather than playing outside :)!

    The increased use of technology to communicate to one another will more than likely reduce the amount of people skills we should have. Along with the different types of body language and gestures that we would need to have an understanding of.
  • sophsheps on 24 Apr 16
     
    The idea proposed by the article that surgeries might not be as successful due to the lack of human contact is quite frightening as this would effect our long term health as a society. An area that probably needs further investigation!
  • naser01 on 28 Apr 16
     
    Although the technology has helped us improve our daily lives, whether be it by communicating or performing a difficult task, which can't be done so easily by a human as it can be done technology. But we have to set limits on how much we us it and how much it should not interrupt our daily human lives. I think this is what this article is trying to say, that yes technology is a good thing in many ways and it helps us in things that we can't perform, but if it is taking over our lives and getting in between our lives then we need to take it into consideration.
  • baochau on 28 Apr 16
     
    We are living in a technology world so we don't really communicate with others, just following these processes which are set into technology.Therefore, we are losing social skills steps by steps and can't express our emotions properly, we isolate ourselves by walking around in our little virtual world and look at the screen of our devices and forget our self in real life.
  • elmeerabezheh on 01 May 16
     
    Technology has only adapted us and we have adapted technology. I believe its just part of humanity. We need to be grateful for what it has gave us. We are still human. Though i see how some technology has proven useless and can affect us in a negative way it does not need to be used as a necessity.

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.
  • baochau on 07 Apr 16
     
    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.
  • naser01 on 29 Apr 16
     
    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.
  • elmeerabezheh on 01 May 16
     
    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.
