My supervisor demonstrates competent communication during our staff meetings by making sure that she maintains eye contact with everyone when she is speaking and by always having an agenda. She allows everyone in the meeting a chance to share personal/professional news at the beginning of the meeting which sets a comfortable tone for everyone in the room. She makes sure everyone understands everything being discussed and gives everyone a chance to ask questions after each topic on the agenda. She always makes sure the meeting progresses without too many interruptions, and if an issue comes up that needs more individual attention, she asks the person to see her afterwards in order to keep the meeting on point and to a minimum.
I would want to model some of my own communication behaviors after her because I hate sitting in long, boring meetings, and I know many other people do as well. I think she does an excellent job of making the staff meeting enjoyable as possible by keeping it to a minimum while making sure all points are covered. She's always interested in learning new things from the staff and encouraging others to share.

I also dislike sitting in a staff meeting and feeling that my time was wasted. It's nice that your supervisor is a competent communicator and respect the opinion of all the staff.

ReplyDeleteThat is a great attribute to be able to set a comfortable tone for everyone in the room. It also has to be wonderful to have that during staff meetings. It sounds as if she values and respects the work and ideas of her staff, and that is awesome!
Your supervisor demonstrates appropriate professionalism in communicating with her employees. I like how she doesn't confront issues in the meeting, but handles it after the meeting. Your supervisor appears to know how to handle situations in the workplace, clearly showing respect for her employees. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to have a supervisor that's a great communicator. This makes for an easier work environment. One thing I appreciate about a great communicator is when they answer questions directly. Often when people are in a position of "power" they don't want to offend anyone so they beat around the bush. This irritates me because my questions often go unanswered.
