My collection of communication quotes (with author and source) collected from books, conversations, training, and of course, the internet. Enjoy!
The famous psychoanalyst Karl Gustav Jung asserted that all people share a collective subconscious and, therefore, are able to communicate with each other quite well.
The constant free flow of communication amoung us-enabling the free interchange of ideas-forms the very bloodstream of our nation. It keeps the mind and body of our democracy eternally vital, eternally young.
Having a vision is important, but it will not serve if the leader is not able to communicate it to give the expected changes any chance of taking hold.
When you give yourself permission to communicate what matters to you in every situation you will have peace despite rejection or disapproval. Putting a voice to your soul helps you to let go of the negative energy of fear and regret.
You can communicate best when you first listen.
We, as human beings, learn through sharing and communicating.
Find a comfortable way of saying ‘No’. There are many ways to convey your message. You can say ‘No’ face-to-face or if you are not comfortable with it, try non-direct communication such as sending emails or SMS, doing phone calls or other means.
A great leader needs to possess a balance of traits, and the ability to share them with others, including commitment, communication, confidence, creativity, honesty, inspiration, intuition, loyalty, prioritization, and the ability to laugh and learn from mistakes what I like to call experience.
Leaders must recognize and then clearly communicate that outcomes measurement is not about simply counting things or gathering information.
There is nothing worse than trying to talk to someone who is staring at a device such as a phone, iPad or computer. It’s actually rude and makes the other person feel as though what they have to say isn’t important.
