Put It Into Practice
Never has it been more important for the people on the front lines (and back offices) of businesses to communicate to their leaders and managers:
What they see in the marketplace
What they know about customer needs and concerns
What they know about internal processes – what works and what doesn’t
What they know about the barriers to change and what it would take to mobilize the work force behind a company-wide change initiative in response to changing marketplace needs
What they believe about the company and what makes it a good (or difficult) place to work
Yet communicating with bosses or colleagues who are Drivers can be a daunting experience. They don’t seem to listen, they move on to the next point before you can finish your first sentence and they grow impatient when it takes you a moment to gather your thoughts to answer their rapid-fire questions. And once you have gotten it all out on the table, they immediately begin to dispute your facts or conclusions.
But believe it or not, most Drivers really do care about what you have to say. And even if they don’t, you owe it to yourself, to your organization and to them to get your points across.
