Question

Analyze the communication skills and leadership style one uses when one’s leadership practices are challenged

Answer 1

Ans) When one's leadership practices are challenged then, leaders uses or needs to display:

* Communication skills:

• Interpretation of body language: When you’re able to read thoughts and sentiments that aren’t revealed by a person’s words, you have many clear advantages.
• Listening carefully: In our modern global society, the skill of listening has taken a back seat. Voice inflections, verbal pauses and eye contact have been replaced with texts, thumbs-up icons and emoticons. While electronic communications make long-distance interaction easier than ever before, it has unfortunately hindered our ability to really listen during an information-rich conversation. So by listening carefully will be able to pick out the hidden gem.
• Crystal clear verbal communication:As a general rule, people do not listen attentively. Therefore, it’s your job as a leader to speak as clearly and effectively as possible.
• Writing skills:Excellent writers say a lot with as few words as possible so the leaders should have this skill.

* Leadership styles:

• Take time to think
• Look inside: strength, value, and their aspiration
• Rethink time and team:Leaders need to recognize the wealth of resources available to them when they maximize their time and use the supportive people in their lives to help them achieve.
• Work with coach or mentor: Personal leadership is supported by a partner who can pose thoughtful questions, make observations, and help leaders learn to see new possibilities.

• Look for ways to align and integrate one's life. The closer leaders can tie their true selves to their leadership roles, and in turn their leadership roles and their lives, the happier and healthier they will be--on all fronts.
