Hi everyone,
If you can’t even communicate effectively with the people that you work with then please do not call yourself a leader. A leader is someone that people respect and want to follow. I don’t care how smart or how educated or how experienced you are, if you can’t communicate with the people you work with, then you are a leader by title only!
Don’t sit in the corner and grunt when approached or be dismissive by giving a short response that does not initiate proper interaction – because I simply will not follow you!
How many times have you experienced this? And yet those same people see themselves as gurus in leadership. Sorry – they are not!!
One of the greatest displays of true leadership is a leader’s ability to communicate and treat others with dignity and respect. Not to treat them like a five-year-old, but as a person that they want to help develop and see become successful.
If this is happening in your workplace, then knock it on the head as soon as possible because it will destroy your culture faster than anything else.
We all deserve respect, but we must also show it.
My challenge this week is to review how you and others are communicating with colleagues in the workplace and change the approach if needed. It will make a massive difference to your work culture of we start to interact like adults.
It’s not rocket science; people respond to positive communication and will give back accordingly.
Have a great week.

A Multi-dimensional Approach To Leadership
Welcome to the Proteus Complete Leader Certificate Program
The Proteus Complete Leader Certificate Program combines three powerful Virtual Leadership Programs, with personal coaching, virtual sessions and weekly digital challenges, making it one of Australia’s premier leadership programs.
With the ability to design your own timetable over a twelve-eighteen month period, the flexibility of the program is exactly what contemporary global leaders have been asking for.
Being able to effectively manage people and processes, while being switched on to innovation and the changing global landscape, are essential skills required of today’s leaders and leaders of the future.
The most important thing to ask when selecting your personal leadership development is – “will I be able to use the skills in all areas of my life”?
The Proteus Complete Leader Certificate Virtual Program will equip you to utilise the learned skills in both your personal and professional life, ensuring that you have the right strategy for every occasion.
