The good news is that, by paying close attention to the way in which you communicate, you can improve your effectiveness at work and enjoy better working relationships with your colleagues! The rest of this article will direct you to some great tools for improving your communication skills. (Read below to start.)

36-55

You're a capable communicator, but you sometimes experience communication problems. Take the time to think about your approach to communication, and focus on receiving messages effectively, as much as sending them. This will help to improve your ability to communicate. (Read below to start.)

56-75

Excellent! You understand your role as a communicator, both when you send messages and when you receive them. You anticipate problems, and you choose the right channel to communicate. People respect you for your ability to communicate clearly and they appreciate your listening skills. (Read below for more.)

Detailed Interpretation

Whenever you communicate with someone else, you each follow the steps of the Communication Process (see figure 1, below).

Figure 1. The Communication Process

During this process, the person who is the source of the communication encodes it into a message, and transmits it through a channel. The receiver decodes the message, and, in one way or another, feeds back his or her understanding or a lack of understanding to the source.

By understanding the steps in the process, you can become more aware of your role in it, recognize what you need to do to communicate effectively, anticipate problems before they happen, and improve your overall ability to communicate effectively.

The sections below help you do this, and improve the way that you communicate at each stage of the process.

(Questions 2, 11)

My Strengths:
I am mindful of my roles and responsibilities as a dynamic leader (communicator). Challenges, issues, and foreseeable crises are being anticipated and communication is done in an appropriate manner/platform/channel. Feedback is being solicited to fill in gaps, clear gray areas, and encourage shared efforts.

My ANI:
I need to improve my listening skill and deal with my non-verbal cues/facial expressions because people tend to judge/see me as an offensive person.

Area for improvement: Until now, I am struggling to face big crowds because I am aware that people are coming from different life status, cultural groups and social circles, hence, the heteregenous listening public is real hard to convince and hold them in grip when one is conveying a message. So I needed to always understand the demographics of my audience before I express my thoughts. In simpler words, I do need to veer away from mere impressing my audience and I have to underscore how I will clearly express my message in a way they will comprehend and absorb the essence of the talk.

Communication is a basic component of leadership; without effective communication, there is no leadership. A good leader is an effective communicator not only when s/he informs but also when s/he helps to create a culture that makes people in the organization feel like they belong and are motivated to support the organization.
In the end, leadership is not always maintaining a position, but, most importantly, it's all about building good relationships.

Leadership is the process of persuading others to work toward a common objective, and persuasion is the lifeblood of leadership. Culture and power are the two most powerful sources of influence. It is critical for a leader to be aware of the culture. Coaching focuses on the performance and development of specific abilities, whereas mentoring focuses on developing wisdom, or the capacity to apply skills, knowledge, and experience to new circumstances and processes.

That is why we must achieve to develop in us and encourage others to practice good communication habits through words, letters, and gestures. This is to ensure that as a team, we shall be on the same page, with "shared meaning" in order for us to undertake tasks smoothly and correctly.

I.                    In the point of view of Internal Audit, Effective Communication plays a crucial role in the Effectiveness and Efficiency of an Organization. Specifically, Effective ‘Information and Communication’ is a major Component or is a Requirement in the achievement of the Four Objectives of an organization : Operations, Reporting, Compliance and Safeguarding of Assets, according to the Internal Control Standards of the Philippine Public Sector promulgated by the Commission on Audit. Similarly, with regards to the Quality Management Systems or the ISO 9001-2015 Standard, Engagement of People and Relationship Management are among the seven Quality Management Principles. Clearly, every organization must have a Systematic Information and Communication System in order for it to be effective and efficient. Thus, Communication is not just a “secret to success”, as mentioned in the module yesterday, but also, in terms of Internal Control and Internal Audit, it is the (gold) standard for the success of an organization. Thanks to the tools, techniques and principles of effective communication taught on Day 1, participants of this seminar will now be better equipped to deal with the challenges of the organization when it comes to communication.

II.                  On the importance of listening.

As an Internal Auditor, the art of ‘truly’ listening to people in the organization is key to being Objective in the conduct of Internal Audit Functions. It should be the nature of auditors to be naturally “CURIOUS”(sincerely interested), not “judgemental”(Biased).  Effective Listening is needed to arrive at a Logical and Rational Analysis of Organizational Issues, Problems and Opportunities.

We do not only communicate or share messages, information, ideas, and facts, but also ATTITUDES. Hence, as a teacher, we should serve as a model of desirable attitudes to our students to ensure holistic learning. It is important to produce cognitively educated graduates, but it is even more important to produce ones who are equipped with remarkable affective qualities. JRRTallungan

Communication is a two-way process. The sender conceives an idea/information /attitude, assigns symbols to it (encoding), chooses a medium (channel),  while the receiver interprets the message according to his schema (decoding), then creates a response (feedback). It then becomes a cycle. Takeaway: we do not all the time talk or write to communicate but also read or LISTEN, too. There is a need to verify information as there may be disruptions along the way, e.g. internal or external noise (Marites may just be around to distort messages:)). JRRTallungan

# data[].attributes.body
Communication is the heart in the processes in any organization. Even how intelligent, smart, and committed the members of an organization are if they fail to communicate properly their thoughts to each other or one another, success in the work place is not achieved. Their bright ideas may not be understood, hence, put to waste.

Members of the organization are therefore encouraged to learn the Ws and H in communication, exercise such in the workplace in order to effect change and success towards the realization of the organization's vision.

As a leader, we must be a good follower, because a leader says, let us do all these things required to accomplish at a given deadline. Accomplishing tasks with the team will result to a productive and a unified team work. On the other hand...a boss says do this, do that is an autocratic form of leadership...there is no sense of  belongingness, as a result, there is no openness to the team and things will not be done as expected.

As leaders, we must be conscious of the way we communicate with our staff, colleagues, and supervisors, keeping in mind the 3 Vs: visual, vocal, and verbal.

Clear, open, and effective communication can create a sense of transparency  in the workplace which builds trust between employees. it also makes employees feel valued and trusted. Thus, creates a more positive work environment where employees feel secure and safe.

Non verbal in communication is equally important as verbal ones. therefore, leaders should be cautious of their nonverbals so that messages sent will not create ambiguity between and among the receivers of the communication.

Effective communication skills that build a positive school environment are self-awareness; sending direct, complete, relevant, congruent messages; listening; using feedback and being aware of what we are communicating nonverbally. Communication is not only understanding and acknowledgement, it is agreement and commitment.

As educational leaders, we know we are effective communicators if those with whom we work have a positive attitude toward each other, their students and their school.

As we commit to serve, we should also commit to COMMUNICATE to our clients!

Management/Leadership, Masculine/Feminine, High/Low, and Coaching/Mentoring are some of the binaries I learned today.
Deconstructing the binary oppositions in terms of their value means both terms are of equal importance as both are relevant in different contexts and in diverse situations in an organization.

Successful mentors are good teachers. They can present ideas clearly, listen well, and empathize with the problems of their protégés. They also share experiences with the protégés, act as role models, and share contacts. They provide advice on how to survive and get ahead in the organization and act as a sounding board for ideas that protégés may be hesitant to share with their direct supervisor. Mentors vouch for protégés, answer for them or in the highest circles within the organization, and makes appropriate introductions.

In the process, managers are learning how to give up control, and employees are learning how to take responsibility for their work and make appropriate decisions. The roles for both managers and employees are changing, often without much guidance on how to perform these new roles. In short empowerment        is giving employees responsibility for what they do.

Leaders and supervisors must understand the importance of empowering their employees and how it is helpful for their organization. The most important asset of an organization is how one empowers their employee.  It is important to work in teams and groups in order to empower the employees. It is also important to provide them with the necessary tools and resources that they would need in order to be successful at their job.  It was proven that “feeling empowered in the work environment is conducive to the employees having a higher level of commitment towards their organizations” meaning the more empowered an employee felt, the more commitment they felt towards their organization  (Liu, et al., 2007).

Leadership isn't about titles, positions, or flowcharts. It's about  one life influencing another (John Maxwell).
As leaders, we influence the people around us. Let us then maximize the power to influence our staff positively in achieving our goals.
As coaches, we have to be reminded that our coachees need solutions and they will find ways to solve the problem. We only have to ask them powerful questions.
As leaders, we must mentor our subordinates to prepare them for higher responsibilities that will open opportunities for them. We have to take note that "Mentors are cheatsheet to achieving goals faster and more efficient".

Empowerment bridge the gap for employee development.
In order to empower our people, we must be confident in them and in their capabilities. We must also develop their commitment to be the best that they can be and establish systems for our people to encourage them develop their capabilities.
In doing all of these, we should always be respectful to everyone.

Results of Empowerment As a result of empowering his employees, Widget Co.'s manager sees cost improvements, employee satisfaction, and accountability. Since employees are given the opportunity to define how they produce their work, this can result in improved methods in procedures, resulting in lower costs. Furthermore, employees who have a sense of control over their work, tend to have higher morale and job satisfaction. Lastly, since employees are expected to be accountable for their results, it is clear who to point to if actions aren't completed as expected. MNMortera

We give our audience a compelling presentation in order to connect our precise message.

On Leadership

There is a very important Leadership concept in Internal Audit and Internal Control Systems called “Tone at the Top". This generally describes an organization’s “ethical climate”. This can be expressed also in terms of the degree of importance and attention management gives to the compliance to government laws, rules and code of ethics. When management takes the lead in the enforcement of said laws, rules and ethics, it is easier for those on the ground (middle management) to enforce these. This can be equated to a "Macroculture" wherein most if not the whole of the organization enjoys a strong ethical climate. Strategy in leadership applying the imperatives of great leaders and the six bases of power is key to the sustainability of this ethical climate especially in a country where corruption is a perennial problem.

Leadership is a daunting task and seminars such as the CSC SDC have the potential to open doors and unlock potentials. Familiarity with the six bases of power, the four imperatives of great leadership and powerful tools in the form of coaching and mentoring for me has already immensely improved my Information Power and it is a very good vantage point to start. Every leader begins with one power base and can improve on from there

On Coaching and Mentoring

Coaching and Mentoring will enable a “multiplication of loaves and fish” effect in the organization. Leaders just have to believe in the power of these two leadership tools. However, the effect is not instantaneous and these involve a long, meticulous and challenging process which may require selflessness and a high degree of vision and commitment first before the fruits take effect but it will be worth it since this will usher in improved leadership sustainability and strengthened culture of shared values, competence and skills.

For mentees and coachees, willingness to be mentored and coached is already an achievement in itself because they have already acknowledged their essential need for learning.
