between reading for
understanding and
reading for information.

massive difference to
knowledge accumulation.

just like reading

reading is not going to
give you an edge, make
you better at your job or
allow you to grow with
rich knowledge.

HOW TO READ?

The Four Levels of Reading by
Mortimer J Adler
 1. Elementary reading:
Already taught in elementary
schools.
 2. Inspectional reading:
Inspectional reading gives you
the gist of things, the author
conveys. It allows you to look
at the author’s blueprint and
evaluate the merits of a deeper
reading experience.
 3. Analytical reading:
Analytical reading is a
thorough reading. At some
point of time, you start to
engage your mind and dig into
the subject matter.
 4. Syntopical reading: This
is also known as comparative
reading. This involves reading
many books on the same
subject, and comparing and
contrasting ideas, vocabulary
and arguments.

 Stress reduction.
 Increased creativity.
 Improved communication skills.
 Disease prevention.
 Improved focus and memory.
 Enhanced intelligence.
BENEFITS OF MORNING READING

 Set a goal for yourself.
 Look for a book group.
 Keep track of the books that you would like to read.
 Always know what book you are going to read next.
 Even if you can't commit to an hour or more of
reading every day, start with 20 to 30 minutes.
Expert’s opinion is to read at least two hours a day.
SET YOUR READING GOALS

 The art of communication is your ability to listen and
deliver information in a clear and accurate way.
 The process of communication has multiple barriers.
 The way you are able to interpret your emotions into
words is an art of communication.
THE ART OF COMMUNICATION

TWO MAIN TYPES OF
COMMUNICATION

VERBAL COMMUNICATION
 Words are very important.
 Words are very powerful
when used correctly.
 Misuse of words may lead
to the information of a
negative correlation and
weakens the person’s
message.

 Choosing an appropriate
vocabulary usually reveals
your level of language
proficiency. According to
the target audience you
choose your vocabulary.
Communicating with
friends you may use more
colloquial language.

 Avoid monotony when
delivering a speech,
which may cause un-
interest among the
listeners. To capture the
attention as well to the
context change your tone
accordingly.

 The speed of your speech
tells others a lot.
Speaking slowly
communicates
thoughtfulness and
speaking fast
communicates you are
excited, encouraging your
audience to be interested
in the topic.

 If you can control your
emotions, you will be an
extremely effective
communicator.

 This ensures that you are
speaking clearly making
communications easier.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
 Speaking posture:
Changing body position
during presentation can
have a huge effect on the
nature of the message
being sent across. (You
might have observed
various leaders / speakers
postures).

 Eyes: Eyes are the
windows to the soul.
Looking into the eyes
communicate caring. On
the other hand it shows
the sign of lack of
interest.

 Arms: Expanding your
arms helps you appear
larger in an attempt to
reach out the audience.
Hiding your arms give the
listener an expression of
dishonesty.

 Hands: Dynamic
movement of your hands
will keep the audience
engaged and interested
in what you say.

GOOD LISTENER
 Be a good listener.
 Set aside your judgments.
 Have positive attitude.
 Be self confident.

7Cs OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

 CLEAR – right words and right tone.
 CORRECT – absent of lies.
 COMPLETE – full.
 CONCISE – brief in statement.
 CONCRETE – clear.
 COHERENT – consistent.
 COURTEOUS – polite, respectful.
7Cs OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION STYLE
 Customize your communicative
style for any role.
 “Once you can communicate
with yourself, you will be able
to communicate outwardly
with more clarity. The way in is
the way out.” - TICH NHAT
HANAH - Zen Master, A
Vietnamese Buddhist monk.

TOP SKILLS FOR SUCCESS IN DIGITAL
COMMUNICATION
 Flexibility: People to be
highly adaptable, as
priorities in this discipline
shift quickly.

COMMUNICATION
 A commitment to lifelong
learning: It is impossible
to predict future changes
and so lifelong learning is
needed to stay ahead of
the rapid pace of change.

COMMUNICATION
 A passion for story telling:
Digital communications
are often rooted in the
art of persuasion and by
crafting a strong
narrative. You can
persuade the audience.

COMMUNICATION
 Empathy: The ability to
understand and share the
feelings of another. Once
you are able to put yourself
in the shoes of other people
you are trying to influence,
you can establish more
meaningful and more
effective connections with
them.

COMMUNICATION
 Curiosity: “Being
inquisitive will carry you a
long way”- The best
digital communicator
practitioners are those
who crave a deeper
understanding of the
people, process and
channels of
communications.

THE ART OF LEADERSHIP
 Knowing yourself is the
first step to becoming a
Leader.
 Question yourself: “Why
should anyone be led by
you?”

THE ART OF LEADERSHIP
 Leadership is a relationship.
Good leaders manage
relationships by knowing
when to be close – to
empathize, to build relations
of warmth, loyalty and
affection; and when to be
distant to keep people
focused on the goal, to
address poor performance,
to give relationship an edge.

YOUR ROUTE TO THE TOP
 Face to Face: You need to
meet people face to face.
 Humble: How to be humble?
Open up and appreciate
everyone’s contribution.
Top leaders build enduring
greatness through personal
humility.
 Don’t tell, show: Inspiring
behavior can be more
powerful than an inspiring
speech.

 Let others shine: You just
kick start and let others
show their energy.
 Have faith: Trusting the
team when you are not
there.
 Reveal: Selectively reveal
weakness and don’t gloss
over imperfections.

 Feedback: It is important to ask
for feedback to know where
you stand and where to
change.
 Tolerate: Be willing to tolerate
others mistakes.
 Foster loyalty: One of the most
important ways to manifest
integrity is to be loyal to those
who are not present. In doing
so, we build the trust of those
who are present.

 Transparency: To be
transparent is to be open,
accountable and honest.
You can’t only look good,
you have to be good.
 Brave: To be brave is to
be in control.

they learn from others.
 “Anyone who stops learning
is old, whether at twenty or

THE ADAIR SHORT-COURSE ON
LEADERSHIP

DISCOVER THE DIAMOND IN YOU
 You are a diamond! Just
the way diamonds are
rare, so are humans.
 You know what you are,
but you don’t know what
you can become!
 Mastering the 9 Powerful
Principles is guaranteed
to inspire you and it will
definitely get you started
on your path to discover
the diamond within.

 1. PASSION: There is
nothing more powerful than
a human soul on fire! Follow
your passion and everything
will follow you.
 2. POSITIVE ENERGY:
Success occurs twice in life:
Once in your mind and once
in reality. The higher the
positive energy, the more
our chances of achieving
success.

 3. PERFORMANCE: Failure is
not when you don’t reach your
goals. It is when you don’t have
any goals to reach.
 4. PERSEVERENCE: The
result of your journey is not the
reward. The journey is the
reward. Success teaches us very
little – it is the failure that makes
you think and work harder. Be
prepared to fail, but have the
perseverance to try again and
again. Success will not be far
behind.

 5. PERSONALITY: There has
never been a great leader
without a great personality. In
a leader, personality is more
important than technical
expertise. The law of
personality stands for Looks,
Actions and Words.
 6. PEOPLE: The job of the
leader is not to create
followers. It is to create more
leaders.

 7. PERSPECTIVE: Perspective
requires personal as well as a
broader vision. A clear
perspective shows you the
direction to follow when life
brings you to a crossroad.
 8. PRINCIPLES: Let there
never be any doubt about
what you stand for. All great
leaders worth naming, worth
appreciating, have always
stuck to their principles.

 9. PATRIOTISM:
Inglorious is that success
which comes without
patriotism. It is the love
for your country and for
human beings anywhere
in the world that makes a
human perfect.

Be a Good Reader,
Be a Good Listener,
Be a Good Communicator
and
Become a Good Leader.
