How Effectively Do You Communicate to Manage Performance? |
Is your management style effective?
Today's organization must be positioned to respond rapidly and effectively to change. A different style of management is required. In order to be more flexible and responsive to market, client, and shareholder demands, organizations have become flatter. Managers have relinquished direct control but maintain accountability for results. There is less importance placed on positional power and more emphasis placed on influence, communication across organizational lines and creative problem-solving. The phrase "that's the way we've always done it" has no place in today's workplace.
The manager's new role is to facilitate, coach and lead rather than to demand and control. When managers incorporate proactive communication skills into their day-to-day interactions, employees can be held accountable and valued for their role in the organization. Employees who feel valued and trusted make a more significant contribution than those who feel controlled and monitored.
