5) Why Conversations as an Effective Solution
Can conversations really make a substantial difference?
Quality, effective conversations are at the heart of productive working relationships.
If you need your managers to communicate effectively, motivate high performance, inspire extraordinary achievement, build respect, loyalty and trust, develop accountability, collaborate and exhibit teamwork, procure ideas that create new efficiencies and innovate, minimize conflicts and arguments, influence people to act, bring clarity to priorities and department goals, ensure successful implementation of change initiatives…. they must have good, strong, productive relationships with every employee!
Quality, structured conversations strengthen working relationships and are the heart of business success. They enable discussions on subject matter important to the employee, department and company and allow managers and employees to address the WIFM (What’s in it for me) issue; build win/win agreements and reach consensus on goals important to all parties. This includes: work responsibilities, understanding career development needs, process/work flow improvements, innovation, support and assistance, problem solving…and more.
Perhaps two of the best advantages conversations offer, are building leadership people skills that connect managers with employees and affordable costs (once managers learn how to conduct effective conversations with their employees on a range of important subject matters…. there are no further costs/expenses required).

Defining a Good Relationship
A good working relationship requires trust, respect, self-awareness, inclusion, open communication…..lets explore some of the key characteristics needed.
When we researched and examined the top leadership skills that build strong working relationships, cultivate strong followers committed to organizational objectives and deliver strong business results here were the key attributes we identified:
- Focus on developing others- This is necessary to build new skills and improve engagement. This includes a coaching element as well as helping employees develop and get the training and support they need to advance their career and abilities.
- They are strong, effective communicators- Communication is key to ensure that important matters are discussed and understood, priorities and goals and focused on and problems are explained and addressed. All good relationships depend on open, honest and transparent communication. Whether you’re sending emails or IMs, or meeting face-to-face or on video calls, the more effectively you communicate with those around you, the better you’ll connect.
- Trust: when you trust your team members, you can be open and honest in your thoughts and actions. And you don’t have to waste time or energy “watching your back.” Face-to-face communication can help build trust through nonverbal cues such as: Eye contact, Tone of voice, Facial expressions…
- Respect: teams working together with mutual respect value one another’s input, and find solutions based on collective insight, wisdom, and creativity.
- Keep employees in the loop- Keep everyone in the loop by maintaining regular face-to-face communication. Try to include different types of meetings, including a mix of one-to-one and team meetings, so that remote colleagues feel included.
- They are self-aware and prioritize personal development-Effective leaders focus on developing their emotional intelligence, Goode says. Leaders that work to refine this quality are more adaptive, resilient, and accepting of feedback from others. They are also effective listeners and open to change.
- Be Positive and appreciate others- Positivity is contagious and people gravitate to those that make them feel good. Everyone, from your boss to the intern, wants to feel that their work is appreciated. So, genuinely compliment the people around you when they do something well. Praise and recognition will open the door to great work relationships.
- Ability to motivate-We all know not every task at work is thrilling – everyone has tasks they look forward to and are motivated towards, and those they dread and will put off until the last acceptable moment. These dreaded tasks are where people management skills come in. When this comes to those less exciting tasks, you need to create reasoning or an argument as to why something needs to be done in a certain way and why it’s important – for both the individual’s and the business’s goals.
These are the reasons we developed our conversation series; to enable and facilitate all of the skills above. Face-to-face communication is when two or more people can see each other while communicating. It encourages engagement and participation in meetings and builds a company culture of trust. Face-to-face communication is when two or more people interact and communicate while visible to one another. This might be a physical, in-person conversation, or it could be in a virtual setting.
Face-to-face communication is often more effective than written or audio-only conversations. This is because seeing one another allows us to pick up on nonverbal cues and body language. And because a lot of communication is nonverbal, being able to see each other helps us understand each other better.
Good leaders know that face-to-face communication helps them connect with their team members.
