Do you have a hard time communicating with your team? Do they get mad at you for not being clear or providing feedback? It’s essential to be an effective communicator as a leader. In this blog post, we will go over five steps that can help improve your communication skills. You’ll learn how to ask questions more effectively and give better feedback. We also cover how to make sure that people understand what you are saying in the first place.

1) Don’t be vague Don’t be too general when asking questions or giving feedback. For example, if you want your team to do something more quickly, simply saying “make it faster” will not get the job done. Be clear on what needs to be sped up and how much time they have to get it done. In addition, if you provide feedback, make sure it is specific and detailed. If someone did an excellent job on something, don’t just say “good work” or give them a thumbs-up emoji in Slack. Instead, tell them specifically what they did well – for example: “I really like the way you broke down these numbers to show where the majority of our money is going.” https://paularena.com/how-to-communicate-better-as-a-leader/
