Build Your Leadership Communication Confidence at 3 Levels & in 6 Contexts

How well people follow you is impacted by just one thing, how well you communicate as a leader.

The challenge is that singular skill has three levels and at least five contexts (see below).

To make it even more challenging you have multiple team members with multiple personalities (and if your situation is like mine was when I was the CEO of my baseball teams, some of those multiple personalities may even reside within the same person, depending on the day).

    1. Leadership Communication Pyramid (3 levels)
    2. Leadership Communication Contexts (within each level)
      1. Self-Communication
      2. One-on-One (Peer to Peer, Subordinate to Supervisor, Supervisor to Subordinate)
      3. Public/Group Communication
        1. Presenting from in front of the room,
        2. Leading/facilitating meetings, and
        3. Contributing and being heard from around the conference room table
    3. The best leaders are masters of communication across each of these levels and contexts. Your level of leadership success is also determined by:
      1. What you say
      2. How you say it, and
      3. When you say it.

What you say, how you say it and when you say it also determined whether you are, or are perceived to be leading with one of three leadership styles (want another graphic where this shows #1 on the far right of a continuum line, #2 on the far left of the continuum line with #3 in the middle)

  • The Command & Control Leader
  • The Avoid & Let Go Leader
  • The Goldilocks "Just Right" Leader
