I. Communication
Communication is the process of conveying information and meaning. True communication
takes place only when all parties understand the message (information) from the same
perspective (meaning).
Receiving Messages
The second communication process that leaders are involved in is receiving messages, which includes
listening and responding to messages. Responding effectively improves communications.
Listening
Listening is the process of giving the speaker your undivided attention. As the speaker sends the
message, you should listen by:
● Paying attention
● Avoiding distractions
● Staying tuned in
● Not assuming and interrupting
● Watching nonverbal cues
● Asking questions
● Conveying meaning
Analyzing
Analyzing is the process of thinking about, decoding, and evaluating the message. As the speaker
sends the message, we should analyze the following:
● Thinking. Listen actively by organizing, summarizing, reviewing, interpreting, and critiquing
often.
● Waiting to evaluate until after listening
Checking Understanding
Checking understanding is the process of giving feedback.
● Paraphrasing
● Watching nonverbal cues
II. Feedback
In this section, we discuss the importance of feedback, the common approaches to getting feedback
(and why they don’t work), and how to get feedback.
III. Coaching:
- Coaching is the process of giving motivational feedback to maintain and improve performance.
As a mean of improving performance, organizations are training their managers to be coaches, and
this trend is expected to continue because coaching boosts performance.
- In this coaching section, we are going to discuss about the way to give coaching feedback, the
criticism definition and the affection of it, the coaching model for employees and mentoring who are
perfoming below standard.
Any leadership behavior that focuses on making the person feed bad does not help to
develop the employee. Some things are best not said. Effective leaders treat mistakes as
learning experiences.
The purpose of coaching is to achieve desirable behavior, not to belittle the person.
The example in textbook: Situation. The employee has been making more errors lately.
Criticism – you haven’t been working up par lately; get on the ball. Self – evaluation –
How would you assess the number of errors you have been making this week?
Specific feedback is needed to avoid confusion over which particular behavior needs to
be improved.
Descriptive feedback can be based on facts or inferences. Facts can be observed and
proven; inferences cannot. Give factual rather than inferential feedback, because factual
feedback tends to be positive, while inferential feedback tends to be more negative
criticism.
It is important to respond positively to negative behavior and outcomes, and the way to do
this is not by pointing out mistakes but by selling the benefits of positive behavior.
● Step 1: Trainee receives preparation: Put the trainee at ease as you create interest in
the job and encourage questions. Explain the quantity and quality requirements and
why they are important.
● Step 2: Trainer presents the tasks: Perform the task yourself at a slow pace,
explaining each step several times. Once the trainee seems to have the steps
memorized, have the the trainee explain each step as you slowly perform the task
again. For complex tasks with multiple steps, it is helpful to write them out and give a
copy to the trainee.
● Step 3: Trainee performs the task: Have the trainee perform the task at a slow pace,
while explaining each step to the trainer. Correct any errors and be patiently willing
to help the trainee perform any difficult steps. Continue until the trainee is proficient
at performing the task.
● Step 4: Trainer follows up: Tell the trainee who to ask for help with any question and
problems. Gradually leave the trainee alone. Begin by checking quality and quantity
frequently, and decrease checks based on the trainee’s skill level. Observe the trainee
performing the task, and be sure to correct any errors or faulty work procedures
before they become a habit. As you follow up, be sure to be patient and encouraging.
Praise a good error, at first, and good performance as skills develop.
Feedback should be given as soon as after the behavior has been observed. The flexibility
part comes into play when you don’t have time to do the full coaching job, and when
emotions are high.
· Demotivating:
The employees with overly critical managers tend to develop a negative attitude. They
avoid contacting with the manager and they feed stress just seeing the manager
approaching them.
3. The coaching model for employees who are performing below standard:
· Attribution theory:
Attribution theory is used to explain the process managers go through in determining the
reasons for effective or ineffective performance and deciding what to do about it.
- Conflict arises when the psychological contract is broken - when implicit expectations in a
relationship are not met. This happens when expectations are not made explicit or people assume
others have the same expectations.
- Conflict can be dysfunctional if it prevents achieving goals, or functional if it supports change and
objectives. How conflict is managed determines its impact.
There are 5 conflict management styles based on concern for self vs others:
When initiating conflict resolution, use a planned BCF statement focused on the problem, not
blaming. Present it, agree on conflict, brainstorm resolutions, and make an agreement for change.
When responding, listen and paraphrase the conflict, agree on some aspect, brainstorm resolutions,
and make an agreement.
As a mediator, have each party explain their view, agree on the conflict, brainstorm solutions, make
an agreement, and follow up.
V. Collaborating Conflict
- Collaboration involves open communication to fully understand all perspectives and find a mutually
optimal solution.
- Requires active listening, reframing statements, aiming for win-win satisfying core interests of all
parties. Explore creative alternatives for mutual gain.
- Builds trust and strengthens relationships long-term. Helps prevent future conflicts.
- May involve tactics like separating people from the problem, focusing on interests over positions,
inventing options for mutual gain, and insisting on objective criteria.
