For the past few months, we have focused on the importance of communication and explored effective communication skills for leaders. The Leadership Retreat last Saturday also revolved around those themes. Nathan was kind enough to post the notes from that session here.
Here is a review of the Leadership Lessons on Communication with links to the articles:
The Importance of Communication- highlighting the importance of effective communication to good leadership.
Communication According to James- James contains a lot of instruction, warning, and encouragement on the proper use of the mouth.
Communicating With God- a leader cannot lead well unless they are in constant communication with God.
Communicating Up to Your Leaders- Effectively communicating up to those in authority will help you be a better leader.
Communicating Across to Other Leaders- Effectively communicating across to other leaders will help us operate better as a team.
Communicating Down to Members- Effectively communicating down to those people who are involved in your group will help develop a more meaningful community.
Keeping the Mouth Clean- our leadership potential is directly proportional to the way we lead ourselves in managing our tongues.
Written Communication- leaders should develop their written communication skills.
Personal Reflections on Communication- experiences that have shaped my own communication skills
Over the next few weeks, we will talk about topics such as conflict, change, and encouragement that are related to communication. In August, some guest columnists will post on Thursday Leadership Lesson. And in September, we will launch a new series.
