In the second part of the two-part Engaging Lincoln series, Jesse and Marty continue their analysis of Abraham Lincoln’s leadership by exploring the techniques he used to be a truly extraordinary communicator. Lincoln’s communication skills were central to his ability to lead a divided nation and to engage a divided people. Using Lincoln as a role model, Jesse outlines 6 tactics we can all use to become extraordinary communicators:
- Management by Walking Around/Go to Gemba
- Tell stories to make or reinforce your point
- Target a common reading/symbol level
- Listen with a “we influence each other” attitude
- Control your emotions
- Choose carefully between written and verbal communication
