Clear Communication for Leaders


Companies transition just like people. Things change, people are promoted, new people are hired, new departments are created or absorbed into other departments....change is constant. Managing the transition is critical.

Dynamic leaders know that they can send an organization into chaos if they don't communicate clearly. Leaders must have an overarching vision, and at the same time, be able to effectively communicate and inspire the organization to take responsibility for creating a better future.


Clear communication is part of Point 1 - Know Thyself in the Dynamic Transitioning program. A good leader has done work knowing their strengths and weaknesses and understanding where they want to go and how to get there. They also know that good leadership consists of inspiring others to implement their vision. Clear, effective communication is critical. Dynamic leaders ask themselves "What needs to happen today to get where we want to go?" Add to that, "What vague notion can I clarify or debunk today. These are clear communication techniques.


Make sure you are communicating a well-understood vision of the firm's real goals and opportunities and help people see themselves succeeding in that vision. That makes you a Dynamic Leader!
