Have you made it crystal clear?

2013-07-16 CommunicationNugget: “One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.”~ Arthur Ashe

Reflection drill: If you’re not getting what you ask for, correct your communication skills first.

Why it matters: Make it easy for others to help.

If people aren’t doing what you want, ask yourself if they clearly understand exactly what you do want. What you get back is directly related to how specifically you ask for it.

Thinking drill:  

How clear are you with others about your objectives for each new project?

Do you always clearly articulate the results you want?

Review today’s requests. Have you left any room for misunderstanding or misinterpretation?

What’s your take away?
