Communication for Managers and Leaders
Making Communications Work at Work

Are there times in the office when you would rather do a task yourself than delegate it because it seems like doing it yourself will save you time? Do you find that tasks done are not done the way you asked for them, or that your assistants have not clarified what you wanted, have done the work incorrectly, and have to do it all over again? Is inaccurate, ambiguous, unspecific language decreasing productivity and creating frustration? This workshop is an opportunity for groups to develop and practice the techniques, skills, and attitudes they need to become highly productive leaders and managers to break down barriers that block effective communication, eliminate ambiguity, develop clear messages, and become effective listeners.
