91% of employees say their leaders lack critical communication skills.
And research after research shows the importance of communications:
→ Engaged employees are 87% less likely to leave. (Gallup)
→ 70% of leaders cite poor comms as reason for corporate failure. (Gartner)
→ Ineffective comms lead to lower productivity for 50% of employees. (Forbes)
So why don’t more leaders better their skills in comms?
This week on the Healthy Brand podcast, I chat with my good friend Howie Chan and shares some hard-earned lessons in comms.
Three myths to bust:
1/ Comms is a soft skill
2/ Great communicators are born not made
3/ Extroverts are better communicators
Five pillars of a powerful message machine:
1/ Clarity
2/ Listening
3/ Storytell
4/ Impactful
5/ Challenging
Which communication skill would you like to improve this year?
