Wise leaders use their words to convey their most essential, important and useful thoughts - otherwise, leaders listen for the clues, pains, hopes and boundaries being communicated by others.

Communication skills give leaders ways to connect with, understand and influence the needs of people. It would be so very pleasant to live the life depicted in Blanchard's musings.

Even though leadership combines the roles of shepherd, steward and orchestral conductor, people are not sheep, people do not dance to every tune, people will not feed on any old meal.

The primary leadership activity involves using organizational communications processes to establish relationships, garner commitment, advise and counsel and educate or develop their people.

Grow Relationships, Make Commitments

"Nature has given us two ears but only one mouth." - Benjamin Disraeli

However, God actually affirms, "death and life are in the power of the tongue". The meaning of that sentence is simply this - we should open our mouths and say [write or type] whatever it is that we want to bring into existence!

Powerful leaders tend to say profoundly meaningful things that will engage, connect and commit people to their cause.

Advise and Counsel by Discovering

"We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery." - Samuel Smiles

You can easily learn new things by using everyday organizational communications processes such as meetings, briefings, presentations, forums, discussions, written exchanges, casual conversations, reviews and coaching or consulting sessions.

Just how are leaders supposed to know what is profound or meaningful to other people?

People usually find ways to communicate those needs, desires and fears that are most important to them. People will always reveal those feelings or thoughts about themselves through their spoken, written and unspoken communications.

By asking how, what, why, when, with whom or where a person is doing something, you can glean much information about them and their impressions and preferences.
