The quality of your Strategic Plan depends on your preparation.

The TST 10-Step Prep Process can help.

Consider talking to current and former customers, staff at all levels, as well as prospects who did not buy to help identify what is working and what is not working. Their input provides valuable information to help grow your business.

Communication Adaptations: Minor Tweaks Make Major Impact
ClearCompany research shows that 91 percent of employees believe communication impacts leadership effectiveness. Effective leaders who know their personal style and the style of those on their team can make minor style tweaks that lead to increased understanding.
• When speaking with someone who is task-focused and fast-paced, don’t spend time chit-chatting. Move quickly to the purpose of your communication.
• When addressing a social people-person, first allow time to build rapport with a gentle icebreaker or friendly greeting.
• When working with a steady, even-paced team member, give them time to think things through. Avoid short-term deadlines. Re-visit for potential input after giving directions and before the deadline.
• When partnering with a task-oriented, slower-paced person, prepare your case in advance with facts and logic.

Your communication sets the tone for your team's success. Empathy, clear communication, and adaptability pave the way for a harmonious and productive work environment. Here are four common leadership communication styles. Do you see yourself?
FOUR LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION STYLES
Directive: Top-down, Operational
Tone and pace connote a serious attitude and no-nonsense urgency. Words are task-oriented and communicated in a logical, linear manner.

COLLABORATIVE: PARTICIPATORY, INQUIRING AND EMOTIVE
The purpose of this style of communication is to empower and facilitate the sharing of information, perceptions, and opinions to increase ownership of the outcome.
When asking questions, inquire to understand all points of view, rather than change minds or opinions.

CONSULTATIVE: CONSULTATIVE, SUPPORTIVE AND RELATIONAL
Consultative communication uses open-ended questions to get all opinions, to uncover hidden issues, and reveal personal agendas. Communication is relationship-focused first, task-oriented second. Leaders show a supportive role through active listening and only giving input in a thoughtful, deliberate manner. The goal is to encourage group decisions.

VISIONARY: CONSENSUS-BUILDING, RESOURCE FOR OPTIONS
In exploring consensus for a vision, leaders may use storytelling as a strategy to help the group connect the present state to the future. Consensus-building communication seeks agreement of opinion based on mutual consideration and respect. Leaders must attach emotion to the greater good to inspire group engagement in tasks to achieve the vision.

What’s a Content Utility Closet? It’s a term I use to help clients understand the advantage of being prepared with what you want to say and send to clients, customers and donors. From prospecting emails and follow-up to thank you notes, keep your closet full for efficiency and accuracy.
