One of the most interesting parts of my consulting work is learning the communication styles of the leaders I’m working with, and adjusting my style to fit their needs. I mean interesting in a good way—it’s fascinating to me how leaders who hold the same title can be so different in the way they process information.
With most CEOs, though, I have a baseline of communication that I typically adhere to:
✔️I always give an executive summary. No going into the weeds if I can help it.
✔️I’m very sensitive to their time. Meetings are efficient as possible, and always to the point.
✔️I’ve learned to be proactive and ask very specific questions to get the answers I need.
Do you adjust your work style and communication based on the people you're working with?
