  • “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.

      I think this is really important. I often do it myself, but hate having someone treat me in the same manner

    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 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.

    An informative article that highlights the importance in developing all these skills. People skills become more increasingly necessary as you get older.

  • ''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.''

      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.

  • Mentally prioritizing your current or daily work tasks is a strategy you can use to improve the way you orient your thoughts and complete goals
  • Creating a mental list of tasks beginning with the easiest and leaving the most complicated for last allows you to accomplish lots of tasks early in the day -- this will give you a sense of accomplishment

  • For example, if you know being hungry makes you irritable, make sure to eat when your stomach tells your brain it needs food
  • According to Be Legendary, a professional team building company, setting a 10-minute timer at your desk or in your office can give you a structured amount of time to examine your thoughts and focus on reducing anxiety
