How to Really Improve
Albert Einstein famously said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results!".
Indeed, to really make an impactful change, it sometimes helps to do things differently.
Allow Delapro to share some of our thoughts on this principle.
COMMUNICATION
"No matter how good your idea is, it is of little use if you
cannot describe or explain this idea clearly."
"It is not what you know but how you use what you know to get to the heart of the matter.
You can't do this unless you understand your audience."
"Using more words does not necessarily improve your communication.
Always communicate from the view of your audience!"
CRITICAL THINKING
"If everyone in your team/company could solve their own work problems,
you can raise your overall productivity level by more than 50%!"
"Don't stop at understanding the 'how' , always try to understand the 'why'!"
"Finding the right answer is not good enough if it does not solve the problem."
GROWTH MINDSET / LEADERSHIP
"The three key areas that people going into their first jobs need to improve on are
Fear of speaking up
Knowledge of general topics
Pride/Ego
It is imperative that these skills be mastered, not just learned."
"Until you understand the difference between a leader and a manager, you're not ready to lead."
"If asking a question makes you look stupid, you're only stupid for that moment.
Not asking that question might make you stupid for life!"
"If you do not practise what you preach, you do not deserve to teach that topic."
"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem."
Developing a High-Performing Organisation with Essential Communication
We all know how crucial communication is in building relationships, establishing trust and sustaining the lifeline of a group or organisation. Yet, some still regard communications training as merely a good-to-have soft skill. It doesn’t help that most communications training is predictable and formulaic. This is how every organisation should approach communications training:
One, train every employee (yes, every one of them) to communicate like a leader. Leadership thinking, planning, and problem-solving. And two, make this training highly visible and accessible.
You’ll be surprised how powerful this approach to communications training is to building a high-performing organisational culture. Plus it is highly cost-effective.
