This year's Regional Meetings wrapped up last week.
I hope all of you who attended found the information as helpful as I did.
I especially appreciated the exercise on communication styles. It had me thinking about my style and the styles of those I'm with every day.
As we go through our days at work and also at home, we are constantly working with people who have different styles than we do. I
In my mind I know I have given "Bruce" clear directions and full information about the task.
Why is it so hard for him to get the task accomplished and why does he ask so many questions?!?
When I was thinking about the worksheet, I realized Bruce has a different style than I do.
Now it's on my radar to try a different approach with Bruce next time we're going over information or I'm asking him to take on a project.
Hopefully this will result in less frustration for both of us.
If you were not able to attend the meeting, but find yourself having communication challenges with your employees, contact Paul to get a copy of the information. I know you'll find it valuable.
I look forward to future management and leadership topics at Boot Camp and Conferences!
