Workplace Communications Basics
7 secrets of successful face to face communication at work
Ever wish you had listened more closely to an employee? Asking Questions why some directors seem to be more information than you even if you ask the same questions? You can find these ideas useful.
1. Note a goal. Whenever you talk with a colleague or an employee at work, to be determined. You must have a pretty good idea of the end of his presentation. It can be a problem to be solved resolve differences of opinion, advice or just get information. His speech can be formal or informal. Anyway, try to achieve something concrete.
2. Why is a word to avoid. When you ask "why?" get opinions, explanations or defensive. Rarely information useful. Ask: "What?" "How?", "When?", "Who?" "Who?". If your question does not generate useful information, you're wasting your time.
3. Paraphrase forever. Paraphrasing is repeating in his own words, words person with whom you speak. For some reason, some employees have trouble saying what they mean by clarity and precision. The ideas in their mind does not necessarily translate in convincing sentences. They will host paraphrasing empathy to help them clarify their thoughts.
4. Cliché? Kill Cogent Communications. One of the worst clichés of communication? Is it "My door is always open." I often wonder if there is an unspoken words such as "But do not fall" or "Tell me only what they want to hear." Cliché conversation? Rampant in business today. Avoid them. Slang or cliche? Often misunderstood by Re others and suggest that it is not really interested in listening.
5. Gain Understanding. Trying to figure out frequently and consistently. Ask the person who answers to paraphrase what you say too much. Ask: "Do you understand?" almost always answer "Yes." You see, if the employee wants to please or he or she does not think you heard right. Following these tips, the employee generally believe that you're really listening. When they say "yes" to question use your own words to repeat their understanding. You might be surprised!
6. Reflect feelings. If the person you are talking to is angry, upset or emotional, to recognize emotions. Never say: "Calm down!" Until they agree their feelings, to recognize as valid and real, they are calm and good communications will be compromised.
7. The silence of the value. "When you ask a question, shut up!" Avoid the temptation to fill the silence with words. And persist. Continue with the questions and answers until paraphrasing get a useful answer.
Conclusion. The basis of their face to face communication are not difficult to learn. But in the emergency situation the push and pull of daily activities, it is easy to forget. Stay focused, patient, tenacious and sensitive. You will be the main beneficiary.
