Eight crucial tools for effective collaboration and communicationby Dian Killian, PhD
Ninja managers---who are highly effective and responsive--know how to communicate and collaborate well and to model these
behaviors for others. Responsiveness, accountability, clarity, openness and trust are all indicators of a team that collaborates well.
|
|
|
|
Here are eight tools that I consider crucial:
1. Self-Manage to Manage Others A key element in effective
management is navigating and managing your own responses, especially in challenging situations. How
self-connected are you and aware of your own tone, body language, and words and your own feelings and needs? When disappointed, frustrated or irritated, how do you use this awareness for self-connection to respond skillfully? READ MORE

A RESOURCE FOR PARENTS of CHILDREN with EATING DISORDERS
A participant in one of my workshops told me about the work Eva Musby (based in the UK) is doing to support parents of children and teenagers with anorexia and other eating disorders. Eva's work includes a big focus on NVC alongside some other practical tools. She began this work by
writing a book from her own experience as a parent. My workshop participant - whose daughter was in hospital with anorexia - told me this was the first book she had read about anorexia that truly helped her. I feel very touched and impressed by what I have heard about Eva's work - and would like many, many people to benefit from it. Do pass on her details to any parents you know who are in this painful and challenging situation.
A RESOURCE related to REDUCING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Eddie
Zacapa is an NVC trainer based in the US. I recently heard about his work and it connects with a longing I’ve had - for compassionate programmes that support the ‘aggressor’ to change their behaviour. From his website: "Eddie Zacapa has worked in the domestic violence field for over 12 years. He developed a year-long court-approved NVC-based batterers' program with an amazing 0% recidivism after 5 years (no
one returned to using violence at home)." If you happen to work in the field of domestic violence, or know someone else who does, do check this out, or pass this on: www.ezacapa.com |
