Course Description

To paraphrase Peter Drucker’s quote about leadership, “Communication is how we get things done through others.” No matter the mode, our word choice, tone, gestures, images, and timing convey information. Effective communication has the power to persuade, inspire, educate, and praise. When communication goes off track, it can alienate, insult, anger, and frighten. Relationships with our Federal employees can either be enhanced or damaged by the way we communicate.

In this class, FELTG Instructor Susan Schneider will share communication skills from her experiences in Federal agencies, combined with findings from recent research and a study of best practices. She’ll address communicating in teams or one-on-one, face-to-face or virtual, audio or written, and how strategies apply to management interactions. Realistic scenarios will emphasize the importance of truly listening and seeking to understand discussions and exchanges in the Federal workplace.

Learning objectives:

  • Identify your own and others’ communication styles.
  • Modify your style based on the purpose of the interactions.
  • Adapt your communication style for different generations.
  • Identify conflict types and use conflict management skills.
  • Interact productively with difficult personalities.
  • Use techniques for managing unplanned interactions.
