Do
you really think all people are alike? We are different genetically,
physically, and educationally. Have you ever been fired and not
known why? Communication comes from both people or not? Are you
speaking another language? What do you expect from me? In fact, if
we don't listen to each other we assume people understand everything
we said. It's more than mere words. It's the sound of the voice, the
swiftness or slowness. The ability to share small amounts of
information at a time. Do we need to give only large amounts of
information to get out point across? Are we wondering whats the
motivation is for asking such a question? A two way conversation is
more productive. It is the quickest and most effective way of
communicating.
There are many ways to interpret others behaviors. Your behavior is
affected by the situation. This development has been years in the
making. No persons style is better than others. Yet, if you
understand your motivation, strengths and weakness of those around
you, then you can better communicate with them.
To do this you must understand your own traits, weakness, strengths
as well. Don't be conflicted, confused by the interaction of others.
This exercise is only to learn about ourselves. How we depict and
value ourselves, think and process information. We are beginning to
understand why we are not on the same road intellectually, verbally
as someone else. They have entirely different values and thinking
process then us.
1. Better communication and relationships through understanding
people.
2. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Understand the
people the way you want to be understood.
3. Build rapport.
4. Three ways of integrating information look, listen and see.
5. Learn how to tap into resources, knowledge through
creative ideas
in your office? Staff may not be comfortable speaking out. Find a
positive suggestion mode.
6. Behavior styles and how to maximize its strengths and minimize
its weakness in the office.
7. How systems and structure save time and money.
8. Improve productivity through actions, how to make decisions.
9. Have others learn positive behaviors, which help flow of
communication.
10. Emanate self confidence! Show by your action on how decisions
are made, problems solved, and communication. You personally obtain
success with powerful communication.
Do you like or need a mixture of personality styles in your work
place? Would your office be the same productive office if you didn't
have a mixture of management styles or personalities? How can you
best start positive communication? How can we remove negative force
in the workplace? Encourage education with your employees. Reward
employees cost so little and the rewards are so great.
Each department needs a reward system whether it is a plaque,
picture of the wall of honor for all to see. You will see an
improvement in so many areas.If you want to add a monetary reward
with that, all the better. Monetary compensation for sending an
employee to your company. These are not new ideas, they have been
used successfully in many companies so why not yours?
