Welcome to LEAD weekly.
This is LEAD weekly.
Practical tips to help you grow as a leader.
In this series about the 6 Cs of leadership, we are
exploring the skills you identified in the MDP survey this year.
Today we will hear from Darlene,
who is working as a Community Center Coordinator in Cancun.
She has been there for 6 years
and has a lot of experience. She will be sharing with us
about planning communication far enough in advance
to facilitate success for your team.
Communication is a very important skill,
since it allows us to transfer and exchange ideas
as projects. These must be clear,
Assertive and Specific, this will motivate
to work as a team, creating an environment of trust
and successfully achieving the assigned tasks.
This way we will avoid anger, frustration
or misunderstandings. How did I learn it?
I have a story that I want to share with you.
So you will see why it is so important to communicate
in a correct way. We had a project
about fifteen years old from one of our girls,
so I took time for this day to be
so special to her. Everything was perfectly ready
and ready everything was on my mind
that day I communicated it in a way
not correct, neither assertive, nor clear
nor does it specify. When I went for the family
we had a problem, we were late
for decoration, when we arrived everything was ready.
those tables where the food was going to be
they were decorated but really
They were decorated for a Mexican night
that for a fifteen year old party I was really angry
and frustrated, not with the people who had helped me
because they were not responsible
I was mad at myself because I had not communicated clearly
A friend approached me
and he gave me a couple of tips,
which I included in these tips that I am going to give you next.
I make a list or brainstorm
of the things that I want to communicate or of the things that I want in this project
then I discard those that are not viable
then I make a start time
and I finish, as activities that could be in that event
I also suggest some people
so they can help me in these activities
I also make a list including
even photos if necessary so that I can transmit them
in a more correct way and project what is my idea
I also ask them
to the team if these things are viable
or there are things to add or drop completely
I think this is something very important
these are my tips for today
I hope it helps you how it helped me
thank you
