Executives, managers, and leaders spend more than 70 percent of their time communicating with stakeholders, employees, the public, and others.  There are many channels of communication in today’s organization, including face-to-face, written, and multiple forms of electronic communication. Much of this time is spent verbally communicating, though technology has increased written communications in the forms of email, text messaging, etc.  Listening is also a part of the communication process.  Listening and speaking effectively will greatly influence your success as a coach consultant.  This week, we will research effective communication to examine the importance of communication in leadership roles.
