Communication: An Overview
• The key to effective interpersonal communication: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
• Think before you speak; select words that nurture rather than destroy.
• Words are meant to richly bless and empower. Words are not merely to inform but to transform.
• The art of listening well and speaking in appropriate ways are essential to effective leadership.
• Effective communication is about a variety of media, not just talking.
