It’s also important to remember that people all have different
communication
styles
. To promote a culture of effective collaboration
and communication, be
mindful of these different styles and adapt the way you communicate accordingly.
For example, there may be people who aren’t comfortable speaking up in front of
large groups, especially spontaneously. If you need to gather ideas from your
group members, try asking everyone to write two to three ideas down in advance in
a shared online document and then discuss each idea together in the meeting. This
might be less nerve-wracking and more approachable for more introverted
coworkers, and it still allows them to contribute ideas.
3. Develop your emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence
is the ability to identify and manage your emotions,
recognize emotions in others and react appropriately,
and apply your emotions to
tasks. While that sounds somewhat straightforward in theory, emotional
intelligence is tough to develop and is considered by many companies to be a key
leadership skill. Because of this,
many people tap into
personal coaching
to help
develop their emotional intelligence.
Good emotional intelligence can help you collaborate better with others by
responding in a way that’s
more productive, more understanding of your
colleagues’ perspectives, and builds on the relationships you have with your
coworkers.
