Critical Thinking: The Soul of Communication - Task 5.2

 

Communication and critical thinking, in my opinion as a future role leader, contribute positively to any working environment. A leader needs to be able to communicate and think critically. These skills are essential to managing and developing team members, delegating tasks, resolving conflicts, and presenting ideas. Thus, team members will be able to comprehend and understand the task better at their level of understanding. A lesser number of errors will occur, work productivity will improve, and relationships will be formed.

In order to communicate effectively, it is important to listen. Listening allows us to understand and learn from any given situation. Using critical thinking enhances our ability to think clearly without making any poor judgements. Leaders can maintain their grounding and remain firm with their decisions with this tool.

As a future leader, I would also like to add that we must be able to adapt our communication styles to a wide range of situations. Furthermore, communication proves to be an integral factor of motivating team members and promoting a positive working environment. Body language, tone of voice, and the type of words we use are all ways of displaying good communication skills.
