00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Way to go, guys. Way to go. Keep it

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,320
going. Good job, guys. All right, Paul, I

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,560
see you. Great job, guys.

4
00:00:20,075 --> 00:00:22,035
Hey there, it's Coach Curl here, and

5
00:00:22,035 --> 00:00:24,995
welcome to the Today's Leader podcast,

6
00:00:24,995 --> 00:00:27,355
Building Tomorrow's Best Leaders Today.

7
00:00:27,835 --> 00:00:30,435
Today we're exploring another

8
00:00:30,555 --> 00:00:33,275
leadership superpower, and this

9
00:00:33,275 --> 00:00:35,275
is clear communication.

10
00:00:36,315 --> 00:00:38,795
How often have you seen a team struggle?

11
00:00:39,115 --> 00:00:41,835
Sometimes not because of skill or effort,

12
00:00:42,395 --> 00:00:45,355
but because expectations weren't

13
00:00:45,515 --> 00:00:46,035
clear.

14
00:00:47,275 --> 00:00:49,995
Miscommunication leads to things

15
00:00:49,995 --> 00:00:52,635
like missed deadlines, confusion,

16
00:00:52,715 --> 00:00:55,595
frustration. But when leaders

17
00:00:55,595 --> 00:00:57,995
communicate with clarity, they

18
00:00:57,995 --> 00:01:00,635
unlock higher engagement, productivity

19
00:01:00,635 --> 00:01:03,115
and trust. So the power of

20
00:01:03,315 --> 00:01:05,755
clear communication is there for

21
00:01:05,875 --> 00:01:08,555
all leaders. It boosts

22
00:01:08,715 --> 00:01:11,435
productivity because when your

23
00:01:11,435 --> 00:01:14,395
team know exactly what's expected and

24
00:01:14,395 --> 00:01:16,675
why it matters, they work. More

25
00:01:16,675 --> 00:01:19,275
efficiently, it reduces

26
00:01:19,275 --> 00:01:21,875
mistakes because clarity

27
00:01:21,875 --> 00:01:24,155
eliminates the need for guesswork,

28
00:01:24,635 --> 00:01:27,435
ambiguity and prevents costly

29
00:01:27,435 --> 00:01:30,315
errors. And

30
00:01:30,395 --> 00:01:33,275
it builds trust. Transparent,

31
00:01:33,435 --> 00:01:35,955
open communication fosters stronger

32
00:01:35,955 --> 00:01:38,955
relationships and a culture

33
00:01:39,115 --> 00:01:41,675
of accountability. But how do we

34
00:01:41,675 --> 00:01:44,235
improve communication as a leader?

35
00:01:44,875 --> 00:01:47,675
Step #1. Be concise

36
00:01:47,915 --> 00:01:50,555
and direct. Get to the point.

37
00:01:50,915 --> 00:01:52,935
Eliminate unnecessarily

38
00:01:52,215 --> 00:01:54,935
unnecessary complexity.

39
00:01:56,535 --> 00:01:59,095
#2 Set clear expectations.

40
00:01:59,095 --> 00:02:01,375
Define roles, responsibilities, and

41
00:02:01,375 --> 00:02:04,135
deadlines up front. Be very

42
00:02:04,135 --> 00:02:06,695
clear. Define clear

43
00:02:06,695 --> 00:02:09,415
expectations. #3

44
00:02:09,415 --> 00:02:11,783
Use multipleUse multiple channels.

45
00:02:12,583 --> 00:02:15,063
Reinforce messages through meetings,

46
00:02:15,063 --> 00:02:16,863
emails, and follow-up.

47
00:02:18,423 --> 00:02:20,583
#4 Encourage two-way dialogue.

48
00:02:21,383 --> 00:02:23,863
Make space for questions and feedback.

49
00:02:24,183 --> 00:02:27,143
Incredibly important. And lastly,

50
00:02:27,223 --> 00:02:29,583
let's check for understanding. Don't

51
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:31,303
assume clarity.

52
00:02:32,583 --> 00:02:34,503
We know what happens when we assume.

53
00:02:35,223 --> 00:02:37,943
Ask for confirmation and

54
00:02:37,943 --> 00:02:40,583
clarify when needed. So your

55
00:02:40,583 --> 00:02:42,223

56
00:02:42,263 --> 00:02:44,663

simplify it. Step number one,

60
00:02:52,343 --> 00:02:54,863
focus on clarity, brevity and

61
00:02:54,863 --> 00:02:57,543
impact and make note

62
00:02:57,983 --> 00:03:00,183
