I had the opportunity yesterday to join my friend Bill Lampton on his weekly radio show, “The Communication Corner,” broadcast on WBCX, 89.1.  As usual when Bill and I get together to talk, the one hour “interview” passed far too quickly. Our topic was on “Leadership and Communication” and we had a non-stop dialogue about communication requirements of great leaders.

Specifically,

·         How leaders can resolve conflicts among employees.

·         The HBDI Profile and how it helps people understand their preferred communication style.

·         The vital role of listening skills among top-tier managers.

·         Why “small talk” really isn’t so small after all.

·         How extensively should leaders get involved in the Social Media?

·         What we risk by reducing face-to-face training sessions and retreats?

·         The most effective way to break bad news to employees.

·         Why genuine compliments boost morale.

·         Maintaining a balanced life in the midst of our customarily frantic pace.

It’s always fun to connect with Bill. You never know where the conversation will go!
