How
is information shared within your organization?
Do your employees know what they need to know in order to
effectively do their jobs?
How well do individuals and departments communicate with each
other?
Our
consulting and coaching experience has proven that most issues
are essentially about communication. If a person or organization
knows how to clearly gather and share information, they are
more likely to be effective.
Successful
communication at the interpersonal level requires focus and
strength in five areas. At the heart of effective communication
is a strong, productive relationship. This relationship is
surrounded and supported by three personal guiding principles
– clear intentions, broadened perspective, and accepted
responsibility. And these all exist in an environment of true
authenticity. This is our Strong Communication
model.
Successful
communication at the organization level is based on clear
planning and careful implementation. We stress the importance
of “overcommunication” to our clients. We support
our clients in sharing with their staff “what they know,
what they don’t know, when they’ll know what they
don’t know, what they can’t share and why…”
Basically
we advise leaders to share as much information as they can
and more than they think they need to with their staff. Too
often, leaders err on the side of withholding information
that is of interest and import to employees, operating in
a broad “need to know” basis.
Based
on the Strong Communication model and our
theory of “overcommunication” we offer Strategic
Communication and Planning consultation, training, and coaching
that allows organizations and individuals to identify and
hone their communication skills.
