This episode wraps up our 5 part series on communication.  Communication can be one of our greatest SUPER POWERS at work and at home if we will work at it.

According to David Salyers, former Vice President of Marketing at Chick-Fil-A, Chick Fil A has 3 goals on how they treat everyone on their team:

This could be a game changer for your organization, your family, and the way you treat yourself.

Welcome to Episode 9

What is your current culture of communication costing your organization?

This episode is part 4 of a 5 part series on communication.  If you haven’t listened to the first 3 parts of this series, you will find it in Episodes 6-8 of this podcast.

Our working definition of communication is simply transferring information.

What we are missing in our communication costs EVERY organization something.  Even the ones who do it well still have room to improve.

the H2O Filter helps us:

Quotable Quote:

"Where there is a culture of negativity, there is a great opportunity to share hope."

Let's use the H2O Filter to become better people, and get better at dealing with people.

Notable Quotes from this episode: 

“Where there is a void (gap) in communication, negativity fills it.” - Jon Gordon

“Merely existing doesn’t satisfy most of us so we pursue inputs that ultimately distract us from our lack of direction.”

He goes on to say: “We need to replace what we’ve settled for with what we’ve been longing for.  

“Leadership is not about being in charge, it is about caring for those that are in your charge.”

“Leadership is not a license to do less.  It is a responsibility to do more.” both by Simon Sinek

We all have preferences.  We all have convictions.  Sometimes they line up perfectly...and other times, not so much.

In this episode we are going to look at ways to become aware of the two and how to manage them.

Some key ideas in this episode are:

Organizations Don’t Drift Towards Unity, they must be led there

Reminder: Problems should be solved, people should be valued.  

Overview of series on #communication.

This episode is inspired by a statement made by Oklahoma State Representative Marcus McEntyre.

"We need to trade compromise for consensus."

A Couple of Big Ideas from this episode:

1) "It’s all about finding the common ground around us.   A better way of saying that is RECOGNIZING the COMMON GROUND that already exists between us!"

2) "It is a LOT easier to recognize the common ground you have WITH people when you are looking for ways to be FOR people"

3) "People don't collaborate because they want to know who gets the credit when things go right...but they are more concerned with who has to wear the blame of the shame when something goes wrong."
