As a leader, it is important to communicate your vision or strategic plan. By telling the organization where you want it to be heading, you are empowering those people who work for you to make decisions and be dynamic rather than static . Once you have set the goal, provide periodic feedback. There is nothing worse than trying to do a job while dealing with lack of direction and guidance that come from improper or untimely feedback. When you provide the feedback make sure that you are specific and direct.
Communication is a two way street, so open the door and listen.
Now that you have created your vision and are providing feedback it s time to receive some input so lend an ear to those talented individuals that fill the rooms and cubicles of your workspace. Be open to change and improvements because complacency is a killer. I m not saying leave out all the colorful adjectives that bring life to your prose but do try to get to the point. When composing email or memorandums, state the facts and move on. There is no need to dilute your message with flowery verbiage and long winded diatribes.
