Having brilliant conversations is more than being witty or showing you're an expert. It's about clear communication: - To successfully merge different companies or boost sales, your day should be filled with brilliant conversations. - Leaders have to be more than good communicators; they have to be good translators. - Clarify your conversations. - What’s your goal? Know what you’re trying to accomplish. Categorize each talk up front. - Tell it. Introduce your topic. - Get grounded. Remind staff members of your vision. “Paint the bigger picture.” - Gather feedback. Involve your team. - Listen actively to what your people are saying. - Give jargon the boot. Has corporate speak become your native language? - Keep it simple. Use simple clear directives that emotionally connect people to what they have to do and why. Let’s keep the conversation going. @rosefass leadingbittersweetchange.com
