Reflecting on one's communication approach and being audience-centric are key factors in effective leadership. Leaders should focus on delivering messages that resonate with their audience rather than what they want to convey. It is essential to be attentive and sensitive to the audience's reactions and engagement during communication to ensure accurate interpretation. By carefully considering the audience in both the design and delivery of communication, leaders can enhance their effectiveness in conveying their message.
What does it mean to truly master communication? How can we speak and write for the most impact? In this podcast episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturers JD Schramm and Matt Abrahams discuss how to use self reflection for self improvement. They also offer methods for preparing for a high stakes situation such as a pitch meeting or an everyday interaction like an email.
