How to be an effective communicator
Effective communication involves being a good listener, making complex topics simple, and leading through authentic interactions. Leaders should minimize differences between words and actions, simplify complicated issues, and engage others through genuine, visible efforts like conversations instead of one-sided speeches.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Answer: act of imparting information for the purpose of evoking understanding Effective communication is all about conveying your message to people clearly and unambiguously It’s also about receiving what other people are saying with as little distortion as possible Goals: To change behaviour, to inspire action, to ensure understanding, to persuade, to get and give info
- #4 Indeed, communication and leadership are inextricably tied. How can you galvanize, inspire or guide others if you don’t communicate in a clear, credible, authentic way?
- #5 Your actions have to align with your story. It’s better to say nothing in your communications until you are certain you are going to do it.
- #6 information, making it hard for them to hear you. Simplicity has never been more powerful or necessary. Effective leaders distill complex thoughts and strategies into simple, memorable terms So get clear and look out for technical jargon and business speak, which add complexity. Say what you mean in as few words as possible.
- #7 Use language that’s distinctly your own. Let your values come through in your communication Â
- #8  Visibility is about letting your key stakeholders get a feel for who you are and what you care about. In today’s environment, people are often burned out and need to feel a personal connection to you and the work that you believe in.
- #9    Listen with your eyes as well as your ears. Stop, look and listen. Remember that effective communication is two-way.Â
