Communication What is it?
As defined by the Oxford Dictionary
What Communication is NOT.. Stating a key message in written, spoken or graphic form and assuming
the same is understood
My favourite definition of Communication The process of using
messages to generate meaning
re-affirmed through feedback
Note the key words:
Process
Messages
Meaning
Feedback
Communication is..
1. An effective process
2. That develops impactful messages
3. For the recipient to have clear meaning of the message
4. And provide feedback

Impact as a leader…
Have Social Influence
Social influence: Your behaviour sends key messages about what is acceptable and
what is not You need to display your value system i.e. what your beliefs and
attitudes are reflected through your daily action You need to show you have the guts to stand up for what you
believe in Most critically you need to be authentic, transparent,
approachable, empathetic in order to earn trust & respect
AND
Create an Impactful social influence
would then generate followers…
So what is leadership & communication?
Leadership is creating social influence through: i. Credibility -- based in competency
ii. Engaging-- through being authentic
iii. Listening
iv. Being a role-model as you would want your role-model to be for you
Communication is the most powerful leadership tool
i. What you communicate, not only needs to be understood & accepted, but remembered
ii. Ensure you are being clear in all your communication, verbal and non-verbal.
At all times
Be:
Humble
Transparent
Approachable
And accept your failures in your stride
After all we’re not PERFECT….
Thank You
