      Intech Personal Skills - Jennifer Spencer

      Author

      The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

      -George Bernard Shaw

      Michelle is an IT project manager at a Fortune 500 company and she wants a promotion. She’s currently working on a major project for a client, and if she succeeds, it could make her case for her promotion a winning one. In a meeting with clients and stakeholders, she gave an unrealistic deadline of the project completion date.

      Working 14-hour days with her IT department, she is doing everything she can to pull off this project when her IT department hears from a vendor. The vendor has an internal issue that will delay their normal turnaround speed. It’s too late to get another vendor on board for the project. To make matters worse, Michelle holds back and doesn’t share the news with the client as soon as she finds out. She hopes she’ll be able to push the vendor along or otherwise fix the problem before the client needs to know. On the day of her original self-imposed deadline, Michelle lets the client know it will take another week.

      She was looking for a promotion and worked day and night to meet the deadline, but ultimately she does not satisfy the business needs and she does not receive a promotion.

      Communication plays a vital role in almost every aspect of corporate America. Being able to communicate well can boost your performance; when you listen well and confirm what you’ve heard and keep stakeholders updated on your progress, your amazing performance will speak volumes to the company and your clients. It paves the way for promotions, enables you to meet the company’s internal goals and succeed in numerous other ways.

      Excellent communication is essential to building an organized and efficient team. Excellent communication skills are vital to managing the execution of your team members, and if you know how to communicate well with different departments, you can minimize the risk of problems developing in your workplace.

      Part of being an excellent communicator in IT means being able to translate complicated IT language to non-technical business partners. You really need to break down complex IT data in step-by-step instructions.

      The first step in good communication is to listen effectively. Great managers now meet a lot with their teams, using them as a resource for information and suggestions. When a team provides feedback on the new strategies, tactics and projects they’re going to carry out, and the manager incorporates that feedback, they feel involved. When a
