    NOTABLE QUOTES
    • Don't Judge Others Just by How They

    Treat You

    • "A person who is nice to you but rude to

    the waiter -- or to others -- is not a nice

    person.

    • leadership.html#ixzz3o3Ksoy60
    • Watch out for those with situational value
    systems -- people who turn the charm on and
    off depending on the status of the person with
    whom they're interacting.
    • Those people may be good actors, but they
    don't become good leaders."
    • - Bill Swanson

    • Leading and Motivating by Example

    • "A leader needs to communicate in a way


    that makes people feel what they need to
    do.”
    • As a leader of a large group you have to
    keep in mind that people need to believe
    in you and know that you're behind any
    given message.

    The seven Cs of Communication

    • 1. Clear
    • When writing or speaking to
    someone, be clear about your goal
    or message.

    • What is your purpose in


    communicating with this person?

    • If you’re not sure, then your


    audience won’t be sure either.
    • To be clear, try to minimize the number
    of ideas in each sentence.

    • Make sure that it’s easy for your reader


    to understand your meaning.
    • People shouldn’t have to
    “read between the lines”
    and make assumptions on
    their own to understand
    what you’re trying to say.
    • Information and actions

    required, must be clear so

    the reader has the information

    they need to take action.


    • 2. Concise

    • When you’re concise in your

    communication, you stick to the point

    and keep it brief. Your audience doesn’t

    want to read six sentences when you

    could communicate your message in


    • 3. Concrete
    • When your message is concrete,
    then your audience has a clear
    picture of what you’re telling them.

    • There are details (but not too


    many!) and vivid facts, and there’s
    laser-like focus.

    • Your message is solid.


    • 4. Correct

    • When your communication is correct, it fits your

    audience. And correct communication is also

    error-free communication.

    • Do the technical terms you use fit your

    audience’s level of education or knowledge?


    • Have you checked your writing for
    grammatical errors?

    • Remember, spell checkers won’t


    catch everything.
    • Are all names and titles spelled
    correctly?
    • 5. Coherent

    • When your communication is

    coherent, it’s logical.

    • All points are connected and relevant to

    the main topic, and the tone and flow of

    the text is consistent.


    • To be clear, try to minimize the number
    of ideas in each sentence.

    • Make sure that it’s easy for your reader


    to understand your meaning.
    • People shouldn’t have to “read between
    the lines” and make assumptions on their
    own to understand what you’re trying to
    say.
    • Information and actions
    required, must be clear so
    the reader has the information
    they need to take action.
    • e.g. of incoherence:

    • HE GO SCHOOL MARKET AND

    HOME
    • 6. Complete

    • In a complete message, the

    audience has everything they need

    to be informed and, if applicable,

    take action.
    • Does your message include a “call
    to action,” so that your audience
    clearly knows what you want them
    to do?
    • Have you included all relevant
    information – contact names, dates,
    times, locations, and so on?
    • 7. Courteous

    • Courteous communication is friendly,

    open, and honest.

    • There are no hidden insults or passive-

    aggressive tones. You keep your reader’s

    viewpoint in mind, and you’re empathetic
