The Riddle
- So, what could be better than E-mail?
- What guarantees effective communication?
- What always lets you accomplish more?
The Answer? (drumroll, please) . . . .
Talking to people.
The Obvious Follow-up Question- Why?
1) You Gain a High Return on your Investment.
That is, you gain better information by talking with people. Sometimes, you even gain the correct information.
Often, the way something is said is more important than what is said. The tone of voice, facial expressions, vocal energy, gestures, rate of speaking, and body language tell more than any text message.
In some conversations, the words (or text) simply serve as a carrier for the real message. Effective leaders in the medical field know how to listen beyond the words to this message and then respond to it. They also know how to seek out hidden messages that lurk in the shadows of the conversation. Lives can depend on a medical professional’s ability to do this.
2) You Become a Human Being.
Human beings are eligible for respect, courtesy, and dignity. Things, on the other hand, are not.
A relationship built upon an impersonal communication process, such as email, risks being treated like a thing. That is, an object that can be ignored, discarded, or misused.
When you participate in a conversation, your presence makes a powerful statement about being human. It also lets you validate the other person as being human. This handshake of mutual respect builds the lasting, valuable relationships that make medical professionals effective.
3) You Give a Priceless Gift.
Each of us has a basic need to feel connected with society. This need is so powerful that it sustains life. (In fact, studies have shown that being disconnected from society destroys life.)
All effective leadership strategies encourage talking to the people in your organization. It puts a face on your words. And by talking to people, you connect them together within the society of your medical organization.
4) You Receive Something in Return.
If you listen carefully, people will tell you more than you expected to hear. They will answer your questions and then answer questions that had not thought to ask. They will share wisdom, ideas, and news. They will make you think. All of this helps you become a more effective leader.
