Leadership is Communication

What leader can be successful without clear communication? Strong influential leaders should practice clear communication in all media as follows: Leadership is communication.

• Verbal;
• Text;
• Email;
• Memos;
• Video conference; and
• Reports.

Proofreading tends to fall short in today’s fast-paced business environments.  Leadership cannot expand within an organization without clear communication.  I identify four purposes for communications:

• Inform;
• Persuade;
• Remind; and
• Consult.

Great leaders will identify the purpose and create an objective for each communication.  Clear communications cannot exist without a purpose and an objective.  Follow up each communication to ensure the correct message is comprehended by the recipient.  This goes a long way to ensure any misunderstandings and delays in expected responses and/or actions.  Thanks.
