In a recent employee survey of over 500 people, a HR company found that if employees were the CEO for the day their number one change would be communication in the office.

(From the article): So next time you feel that you are dealing with one of these communicators in the workplace, try one of these strategies to get the most out of your conversation and become a business that thrives on great communication.

Daniel Watson's curator insight, March 8, 12:46 AM


Poor communicators cause no end of mayhem in any business environment, and whilst it is not always possible to quickly or easily improve someone's communication style, it is possible to improve how you deal with poor communicators to minimise the mayhem.


Every business has people who exhibit a range of different communication styles, and the key to improving the effectiveness of individual communications, is to identify the communication style used by an individual and adapt your style to suit the situation.


This excellent article, identifies five communication styles commonly seen in workplaces, and it suggests the most appropriate way in which you can communicate with someone who uses any of these communication styles.

Martin Gysler's comment, March 8, 8:27 AM
The lack of communication is, in my opinion, not only a problem of leaders, but a problem of all mankind. If you ask someone if there is good communication in the business, the risk is great that he said "no." But if you ask the same person what they want to do to change the situation, the answer is often, "I do not know" or "nothing" ... I think this is the great challenge of our society, to change this mindset.

Living Self-Employed Online: The Manual They Forgot to Give You

Living Self-Employed Online: The Manual They Forgot to Give You | Serving and Leadership | Scoop.it
February 1st, 2009, was a very memorable day for me. It was the day I arrived back at my family home in Newcastle, England, to start working for myself full-time.

 

I had just left a job which for the previous two years saw me working with companies like Nissan, Hewlett Packard and Land Rover as their social media manager. My position in the rat race was actually an awesome one, but it was nothing compared to being my own boss.

 

As some people here don't care about making their living from the internet, I understand that this post will not be for everybody. However, if you've just made the leap to working for yourself, currently run your own business, or you're looking to make your money online in the future, this article may be just what you need.
