Valuable Conversation Delivers These Benefits!

Valuable conversation — especially voice-to-voice and face-to-face — delivers benefits that lead morale. It says to those you lead …

1. You matter. It is valuable to engage you and your ideas. Benefit: Belonging to an organization where you make a difference.

2. I want to learn about you. Conversation uncovers people’s hopes, fears, and goals. It shows you, the leaders, how they want to be treated! Benefit: Knowing what inspires and what disengages those you lead.

3. Your challenges and struggles are my concern too. Because conversation unearths facts and feelings, it solves problems. Benefit: Maximum performance.

4. Let’s discover your true potential. Let’s go beyond the reason you were hired. Benefit: You find and tap the gold mine of talents you didn’t know they had. Moreover, mentoring is something most employees want.

5. We are in this together. Everyday valuable conversation does this in a way that emails, memos, and texts cannot. It shows that you have their back. Benefit: Trust. Powerful trust to carry you all through good and bad times.




Valuable Conversation Delivers These Additional Benefits

6. Conversation becomes the norm for solving problems. Although it may sound ridiculous, encouraging conversation everyday produces collaboration that clicks in when tough times arrive. Team members who don’t converse regularly often falter when trouble suddenly appears.

7. Mutual respect and civility prevent misunderstandings. Studies show that people who haven’t conversed are more likely to insult each other (intentionally or unintentionally) through email, texts, etc… On the other hand, valuable conversation builds people’s knowledge and respect for each other and keeps morale high.

8. Valuable conversation chips away at bias and prejudice. It removes preconceived notions and fears. Morale can soar when prejudice disappears.

9. It busts through tunnel vision and groupthink. When people are converse with each other, they are more likely to offer alternate views. As a result, your organization achieves so much more with a wider and clearer view.

Valuable Conversation Is Not Passé

Discouraging conversation does not increase performance and output. Valuable conversation builds rapport and trust that feed collaboration and performance. Get to know your employees and have them get to know each other. Conversation is not passé. It is the way they get to know each other in order to work better together.

What have you learned about others through everyday conversation? How has it helped?
