Management actions that speak louder than words
Do as I say, not as I do. This doesn't seem to work in parenting and it doesn't work in business either. Communication, despite knowing it to be a problem, continues to be a challenge in most organizations. Typical results-driven managers mistakenly feel that once they have said something once, everyone should have heard and understood the message and be willing to implement immediately. In the absence of plentiful and repeated communication, most messages in an organization are communicated non-verbally through the actions observed. In fact these non-verbal messages define the organization's culture over time. Here we identify four management actions that transmit plenty of information to the organization about what is valued and not valued.

I DIDN’T SAY THAT!
It is imperative that we stop and think about the messages, verbal and non-verbal, that we are sending. We think about how we present to others by making sure our personal style, fashion, hair and make-up are sending a clear message about who we are, but often times don’t take the same care and diligence to ensure that our verbal and non-verbal communication are presented to give the same message.
MAKING GREAT PRESENTATIONS
Presentations should be fun, entertaining, informative, engaging and useful. So why is it that they are often confusing, boring and unimaginative? I bet more corporate hours are made putting together endless PowerPoint slides than almost anything else these days and to what effect? Of course it is something we all need to do and when progressing up the corporate ladder it is an essential skill to get right. Research on verbal v non-verbal communication is interesting. It suggests that the receiver trusts the non-verbal aspects of the speaker more than the actual words. So hold back on the overuse of PowerPoint slides and make sure you consider the ‘how’ as much as the ‘what’. The following article is a summary of some of the things I think you should consider when you have to make that all important presentation.
