The Best Communication Skills Training for Leaders: Key Qualities

July 3, 2014 By Sam Palazzolo, Managing Director

The Point: When considering the best leadership communication training programs, there are certain key qualities that you must consider in order to get your maximum return on investment (ROI).

The Best Communication Skills Training for Leaders- Key Qualities

Since the inception of communication skills training for leaders, one point has been repeatedly emphasized: You cannot be a leader if you don’t communicate well (And for good reason too!) After all, if you, as a leader, fail to get your message across to your audience, they won’t be compelled to follow you. I hear this all the time in executive coaching conversations. This is just one of the things that you need to learn to become a successful leader. Thankfully, you get to learn about this in communications training. If a leadership communication skills training program doesn’t include this point, it isn’t good enough. In fact, there are some other key qualities you need to check, including:

Range of Communication Styles

As a leader, you need to know about different communication styles. This way, you can use the most appropriate one in any given situation. This will make you a more effective communicator and therefore a better leader. Hence, it is a given that you should look for a communication skills training for leaders program that covers a range of communication styles. There is no point in learning one particular style. After all, no two persons are the same and you have to deal with a variety of situations as a leader. So, you have to be prepared for it.

Variety of Personality and Behavioral Techniques

Along with being able to communicate according to situation and location, you have to gauge the personality and behavior of the person/people you are communicating to. This becomes more important when you have to address a group of people. This is why it is crucial that the program you select helps you learn how to understand the different personality types of people you talk to in your capacity as a leader and how you have to communicate with them.

Suitable for Beginners

Some courses are advanced and require the participants to have some prior knowledge of communication skills. If you lack the requisite knowledge, the program is no good for you. So, you should opt for a program that is designed for beginners. While it is a given that you have the necessary charm and charisma a leader requires, but a lack of communication skills shouldn’t be a hindrance to your ability to learn them.

SUMMARY

These are the key qualities that make a communication skills training for leaders the best. Of course, you have to factor in price and location, but your final decision should be based on the three points covered above!
