The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. Nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate effectively. If you just communicate, you can get by. But if you communicate skillfully, you can work miracles. To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. Excellent communication doesn’t just happen naturally. It is a product of process, skill, climate, relationship and hard work. Communication works for those who work at it. Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words. Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it. Communication is the solvent of all problems and is the foundation for personal development. Great communication begins with connection. Constantly talking isn’t necessarily communicating. How well we communicate is not determined by how well we say things but how well we are understood. Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after. The great enemy of communication, we find, is the illusion of it. The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t being said. The art of reading between the lines is a lifelong quest of the wise. There is only one rule for being a good talker — learn to listen. We are stronger when we listen and smarter when we share. Great leaders communicate and great communicators lead. The art of communication is the language of leadership. The more we learn about effective communication, the better we’ll be at leading, as our directives will be better understood. Communication is the real work of leadership. Effective communication is the best way to solve problems. When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.
