The Unstoppable Leader: Essential Communication Skill for Influencing and Managing People
Leadership, and the ability to motivate groups of people toward a common goal, is the most important skill in today’s business world. Without strong leadership, many otherwise good businesses fail.
On Tuesday, Oct 21, 2014, Michael Sperduti, president and CEO of Emerge Sales Inc, will present an in-depth program entitled, The Unstoppable Leader: Essential Communication Skills for Influencing and Managing People.
Leaders, through their words and actions, must have the ability to draw others into a common vision by telling others where they intend to go and motivating them to join in that vision. This includes employees, customers, vendors and other stakeholders.
How many people in the HME business world are prepared and skilled to lead in these tough times? Not many. When times are tough, the most skilled win. Everyone knows that leadership and communication skills are the most important, yet few invest the time and money to learn how to be effective in persuading, motivating and leading. Not all words are created equal—some sell, motivate, or inform—and some do nothing at all. A master communicator has the tools and strategies to make the difference.
What makes your company different, what makes you better, why should people follow you, why should they buy or refer patients to you? Will anyone remember your words, proposals, emails and strategic directives? If you are going to lead successfully, you must be able to answer all these tough questions and articulate them in a way that allows people to understand quickly, get on board, and take action.
A great leader and communicator will:
• be heard by more people with fewer words;
• sell outcomes, not products and services;
• build and maintain rapport; and
• break through all the noise and clutter.
It is not just what we say or write that makes a difference. It’s how we communicate. Words create and inspire action only if they are engineered to do so. Great leaders and great communications are persuasion engineers.
