108. Essential Communication Skills
from The New Manager Podcast Hosted by Kim Nicol
As you rise in leadership and managing people, you'll need to hone some specific communications skills. Advocacy (for self and others), speaking up, having tough conversations, being direct, giving feedback, and establishing boundaries. To do that, you need more than information about what to say -- you need to grow your mindset so that you will apply what you've learned in an authentic way. This has everything to do with understanding yourself, and recognizing the emotions that drive behaviors. For instance, if you are uncomfortable with confrontation, it will drive you to avoid and delay -- even if you know what to say and why it's important. Addressing the human emotion behind the scenes is key to growing your communication skills and ability to be an effective manager and leader.
