Relevant and practical tips for communicating as a leader are hard to find. So it’s no wonder we, as leaders, screw up communication so badly, and so frequently.

The truth is, communication is key to effective leadership. In fact, successful leadership and effective communication are inextricably linked: it’s all about the transfer of information and the accurate understanding of that information.

In this information-packed webinar, we’ll investigate why communication efforts fail and provide actionable tips and nifty ideas to improve your leadership communication skills.

In this session, Fissure will help you dial in to:

  • Intent versus action–How perceptions and viewpoints differ
  • The real skill of active listening. If it’s easy, you’re doing it wrong…
  • For Pete’s sake, pick up the phone!
  • Skills, tips, techniques. Take notes
