Some participants attended the programme in person at the prestigious Lagos Business School, where I worked part-time, while the others logged in virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was invited to facilitate three communication sessions as part of the senior leadership development programme. Two years prior, I\u2019d delivered similar sessions on<a href=\"https:\/\/lucilleossai.com\/blog\/2023\/05\/29\/what-you-need-to-know-about-leadership-communication-persuasion-and-influence\/\"> leadership communication, persuasion and influence<\/a> for the same client. However, this time, I revised the content to include more relevant, practical exercises that would challenge participants, given their leadership roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as is the norm with the programmes I design and deliver for professionals, executives, and leaders, I learn something new from each cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we progressed through the programme, I realised that the participants\u2019 technical brilliance could not be sustained unless cracks in their interpersonal relationships and persuasive abilities were addressed. And after considering the accounts they shared in class, I was again reminded of a critical point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot fix what you do not know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why communication evaluation is not only for professionals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sci-tech-today.com\/stats\/communication-in-the-workplace-statistics-updated\/\">Communication at the Workplace Statistics<\/a> reveal striking patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> 84% of employees rely on their managers for communication at some point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> 81% of recruiters consider cross-cultural skills as the top communication ability for job seekers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> 70% of employers worldwide rank communication as <em>the<\/em> most critical skill in new hires.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> 25% boost in productivity occurs when teams communicate well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These figures confirm an inconvenient truth: Ineffective communication stifles growth and weakens business results.
