The Discipline of Listening

by Ram Charan | 1:17 PM June 21, 2012

As the up-and-coming vice president and CEO candidate for a Fortune 500
technology corporation sat before the CEO for his annual review, he was
baffled to discover that the feedback from his peers, customers, direct
reports, and particularly from board members placed unusual emphasis on one
potentially devastating problem: his listening deficit. This executive was
widely considered among the best and brightest in his company, but it was
evident that this issue needed immediate attention if he ever hoped to
advance to the top spot.

He wasn't alone in that regard. My knowledge of corporate leaders'
360-degree feedback indicates that one out of four of them has a listening
deficit-the effects of which can paralyze cross-unit collaboration, sink
careers, and if it's the CEO with the deficit, derail the company. But this
doesn't have to be the case. Despite today's fast-paced business
environment, time-starved leaders can master the art of disciplined
listening. Conventional advice for better listening is to be emotionally
intelligent and available. However, truly good listening requires far more
than that. As you move toward truly empathetic listening, consider these
tips:

Article: Ensuring That Your Words Are Always Understood (Mindtools.c

Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:23 am (PDT) . Posted by:

Better Public Speaking and Presentation

Ensuring That Your Words Are Always Understood

There are many things you can do to ensure that your verbal messages are
understood time and time again.

Although somewhat obvious and deceptively simple, these include:

* Keep the message clear.
* Be prepared.
* Keep the message simple.
* Be vivid when delivering the message.
* Be natural.
* Keep the message concise.

Preparation is underrated. In fact, it is one of the most important factors
in determining your communication successes. When possible, set meeting
times and speaking and presentation times well in advance, thus allowing
yourself the time you need to prepare your communications, mindful of the
entire communication process
<http://www.mindtools.com/CommSkll/CommunicationIntro.htm#Process> . By
paying close attention to each of these stages and preparing accordingly,
you ensure that your communications will be more effective and better
understood.

Of course, not all communications can be scheduled. In this case,
preparation may mean having a good, thorough understanding of the office
goings-on, enabling you to communicate with the knowledge you need to be
effective, both through verbal and written communications.

Article: How To Sell Yourself Like a Product at a Job Interview (Net

Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:40 am (PDT) . Posted by:

How To Sell Yourself Like a Product at a Job Interview

Interviewing for a job is in many ways comparable to a sales person making a
sale. If you were a sales person and were about to sell a product to a
customer you would do some homework or research so that you could convince
your customers that your product was the best product on the market to fill
their needs.

If you think of this scenario and apply it to the job interview process you
will find that it is a powerful tool to use for your interview preparation.
What do you have to offer (as a product), to the customer (the employer)?
What do you have that will fill their needs (the requirements of the job)?
What can you bring that is unique or added value to the position/company?
(that sets you apart from the pack)?
