difficult interactions can increase our stress and zap our creative energy. Then, healthy relationships are at the heart of achieving the objectives. To promote a positive interaction with your co-workers, and create an environment of respect, take heart the following guidelines for good communication :.
Sharpen your listening skills
- Focus on what the person is saying without interrupting. Most of us tend to think that we will then say and finish half of what the other person says missing.
- When the person you are listening finished what he or she says, confirm that you have received the message referred to a brief paraphrase what you heard.
- Be aware of your body language. Keep a relaxed posture without open cross your arms or legs. Lean slightly forward, without invading the personal space of the other person, and to maintain a comfortable eye contact.
Convey your thoughts clearly and effectively.
- Be honest with yourself about what you want to accomplish, then clearly state that intention. Ask yourself, "What do I ultimately hope to accomplish with this conversation?"
- Avoid sarcasm. Sarcasm by definition precisely the opposite of what we really mean. While sarcasm can be a part of an occasional humorous dialogue, it does not promote clear communication and can put people on the defensive.
- Be aware of your tone of voice and what it can be transmitted to another person.
- Email can be an effective method of communication, but it is not suitable for all messages. Take the conversation offline and in person, especially when it feels like you do not connect, or if the correspondence became emotional.
Be a team player.
- If you see a colleague needs help, if possible, height and help. Share your strengths with your colleagues and ask for help on the tasks that you are less skilled at.
- Be courteous. Be aware of the volume of your conversations, be on time, and keep them clean and usable public areas.
Sometimes disagreements or tension situations arise. Address conflict as soon as possible to prevent small misunderstandings from becoming major problems. If you are worried or unclear about something, ask for clarification.
See the flexibility and openness to the views of others. Consider the relative importance of the subject or the prior decision to take the conversation to the next level. Even if you argue with someone's position, actively appreciate the person
