Listening & Servant-Leadership
How do our organizations make sure that communication with one another is always held in high regard? How do we provide structure to our discussions so that it brings about deeper meaning? When critical moments arise for an organization, does the organization keep the principles of servant-leadership in the forefront, or does it turn into a dictatorship?
The Fast Company Now Weblog has a great post about making communication work in an organization. They provide the following checklist for developing better communication:
1. Respect others' opinions.
2. Make sure everyone has a voice in key decisions.
3. Encourage members to suspend judgment in order for everyone to be heard.
4. Make it a standard practice that all ideas are up for scrutiny - and develop a process to ensure this happens.
5. When a decision is reached, put a specific, time-bound course of action in place
A great post that is well worth the time. They continually have great posts and I highly recommend either adding them to your news aggregator or bookmarking their blog.
