Make sure that you communicate to them in a way that they understand their job description, goals, and objectives. Set clear the performance standards and make sure that your employees are committed to achieving the goals set. This communication can be done in several different ways, some of which may be conscious and some unconscious. Forms of communication include verbal communication and nonverbal communication, and written communication. Verbal communication includes information, assignments, instructions, and announcements with the organization s intracommunications system.
Nonverbal communication is communication using body language, facial expressions, or hand movement.
Supervisors need to communicate with their employees even if they can work well without supervision. Failure to communicate meaningfully with subordinates is dangerous because it can lead to weaker performance of the department. If you are the strong, silent-type supervisor, the one that is uncomfortable talking, you are hurting departmental performance. Do something about it. You can t climb to the top of your organization if you are a sphinx.
