NIV Once-A-Day Bible for LeadersMinta

Genesis 27:22 Before exploring the art of communicating to and teaching larger groups, we must assess whether our toolbox includes what is needed for these intimate, frequent, daily interactions ... Communicating effectively is not optional for a leader—​it is absolutely essential. Not all leaders will be required to speak in front of large groups, but all leaders are engaging in the fine art of communication all the time, in every encounter, both verbally and non-verbally. We neglect developing communication skills to our peril. Every connection with someone on our team is an opportunity for influence, vision clarification, reinforcement of values, or simply a chance to encourage, inspire, or correct. A leader’s voice emerges in the accumulation of these smaller moments, and we must commit ourselves to discovering and developing that unique voice. Nancy Beach
