2. On the other side, my way of communicating is great because if it does not have something to do
that I am very sure I know, I am super flexible and open minded, I can sit down and talk for a long
time without breaking the respect line. And this bring positive results because people feel like they
can share deep feelings without being threaten.
4. What factors do you think influence the way you communicate with others?
Another factor that I found very interesting and effective while communicating is honesty, this
works for me better than any other, if you keep a honest talking no matter what people know you
are someone to trust and this lead to a better dialogue. Also if you are very welcoming and optimist
when talking for the first time, without backing your ideas this also works
5. What conclusions can you make based on these observations that will allow you to improve your
communication as a leader, both in the work environment and in your personal environment?
I would say that my biggest issue is not taking enough time to check on my peers or workers how
they feel, although I have tell them to notice me if something happens I should be the one to make
the first step.
