People follow behaviours or words?

People follow behaviours - I have read this in Didier Marlier´s blog (http://blog.enablersnetwork.com).Didier is a leadership engagement expert who has worked with some big companies in the world and I do always visit his home page.

My opinion on this is that the "walk the talk" coherence is also a question of perception: what we do is much louder then what we say. And leaders are in the spotlight - the hole nation, the hole organization and the hole company is looking at them. They are role modelling examples and behaviours.

It is important to notice that in many organizations the internal communications are just producing more and more information without a chance to make the dialogue really happens inside the companies and that´s why in my opinion acts and facts are much more stronger than words.

Because who is listening? A few ones. But who is watching, seeing, perceiving? Everybody!

This week I have received another one. It´s is simple, but precious. Some of the most easy solutions to face this economical crisis are trough communications. Serious. To rebuild trust for example, companies, gevernment and people (employees also!) should talk. That´s what I believe: corporate communications don´t start with nice bulletins or expensive videos and folders. It starts with dialogue. So, Gary Grates wrote about it too. And there is a specific part of his text that I want to publish here. It´s about listening, a basical part of a conversation: Listen: The first step is listening. It's an old adage, but there ...
