In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses the lack of communication within an organization and it may begin with a misconception of what it really means to communicate with a person or group.

Communication is not merely telling people what you know, it is about creating a dialogue where you exchange thoughts, feelings and ideas. Then, allowing what you hear to affect what actions are taken and how perceptions are shaped.

Some questions to consider:

• Have you taken the time to evaluate if you really communicate with your employees or are you simply talking at one another?

• How can you ensure that there is truly a dialogue between you and those around you to facilitate real communication?

• Can you imagine how much clearer goals and processes would be when you ensure that your employees listen to each other and know that you value their input? How much more invested in the workplace they would be?
