How to improve your communication skills
"Chris, Great article, I couldn't agree more. As a matter of fact I just posted one of my articles you and your followers may find of added value to reinforce your topic. I've titled it "The 7 Deadly Sins of Organizational Leadership Communication," the article is available at http://www.bizsugar.com/Management/the-7-deadly-sins-of-organizational-leadership-communication/ and "specificity" as you mention above is at the top of the list of the 7. Another interesting point is that in almost every organization people will point to "communication" as a problem. That word, in and of itself, is ambiguous and is a catch-all. I wrote an article that outlined 3 different issues that were identified first as a basic ""communication" problem, but when I dug deeper to find out what was really meant by the comment, it was something totally different in a couple of circumstances.

Delegation Is a Risky, But Necessary Business
"Thanks for all your comments on my article. I'm pleased you all found value in it. Susan, you are absolutely right that delegation is not abdication as the person delegating still has ultimate responsibility for the results of the task/project, etc. David, I, too, heard that similar quote from Bill Walsh and he is so right! His approach is a sign of strong self-esteem and self-worth. Too many leaders have amazingly low levels of self-esteem causing them to surround themselves with people who will not threaten them and thus their teams are not nearly as effective. Great leaders, with high levels of self-esteem and self-confidence hire the best people to which they can hand things off and let it go and know it will get done much more effectively than if they had to micro-manage things. When I first started this blog in November, 2009 I wrote 52 "Champion Leadership Tips" over the first year, one of them was "The 4 Rules for Effective Delegation" you can read more about it here http://www.workplacecommunicationexpert.com/?p=482 "
