Great leaders are great communicators who #connect with people on an #emotional level every time they #speak. Their words #inspire others to achieve more than they ever thought possible. 8 #Communication Secrets of Great Leaders:
1. They Know Their Audience
#Great communicators don’t worry about sounding important, showing off their expertise, or boosting their own egos. Instead, they think about what people need to #hear & how they can deliver this #message so that people will be able to hear it.
2. They Are Experts In Body Language
Great #communicators are constantly tracking people’s reactions (facial #expressions & #bodylanguage) to their #message. They use this expertise to tailor their message on the fly & adjust their communication #style as needed.
3. They Are #Honest
The best leaders know that for communication to be effective it has to be #real. In good times & bad, #honesty builds #trust.
4. They Are #Authentic
Great communicators don’t try to be someone they’re not just because they’ve stepped behind a podium. There’s a reason #MarkZuckerberg presented #Facebook to #investors in a hoodie and jeans. Great #leaders know that when they stay #true to who they are, people gravitate to their message.
5. They Speak With #Authority
Great communicators don’t try to cover their backs by being ambiguous, wishy-washy, or unassertive. Instead, they stick their necks out and #speak very directly about how things are and how they need to be.
6. They Speak To Groups As Individuals
Whether it’s a huddle around a conference table or an overflowing auditorium, great leaders know how to #work the room and make every single person feel as if he or she is being spoken to directly.
7. They Have Ears (And They Use Them)
Great leaders know that communication is a two-way street and what they #hear is often more important than what they #say.
8. They Use Phrases Like 'It’s My Fault,' 'I Was Wrong,' and 'I’m Sorry'
When great leaders make a mistake, they admit it right away. They don’t wait for someone else to find and point out their blunder. They model #accountability for their words and actions, even when they could have easily “gotten away” with the mistake.
