Not Getting the Message? Here are 4 Levels of Clarity to Help
Is Your Team Not Getting the Message? Here are 4 Levels of Clarity to Help – Good communications require a thoughtful approach in how to share the goals, assignments, guidelines, and expectations.
100,000-Foot Level – The reality is that most of us are not naturally wired to think through how to clarify so that others can understand the missions, vision, values (and boundaries), strategies, and decisions. It���s like the big picture.50,000-Foot Level – Leaders need to reflect and share standards for the industry, the profession, and the organization. Again, the more clarity you have, the more people are aligned as a successful team.25,000-Foot Level ��� Leaders share with the organization his or her operating preferences and cultural expectations. As I mentioned in the Engage with Honor book, I had eight items that I shared with my team every year that were my way of operating, more specifically- what was okay and not okay with me.15-, 10-, 5000-foot Levels – It���s about very tactical day-to-day expectations���what needs to be accomplished, under what conditions, who is responsible for what and the potential consequences. This is about communicating your desired outcomes. Leaders must consider who has the best talents for different roles and not assign a task or role to someone who does not have the talents that are needed to successfully execute the task.
Clarify then Over-Communicate
Once you have clarified your thinking and focus and have a good picture of the mission, vision, values, and strategy, and have made decisions, you must over-communicate the message to your people so they can grasp what you are expecting from them.
