Have you thought about the way you communicate? When you're having a conversation with someone, are you focused on that conversation, or are you thinking about the other 80 items on your to-do list? Do you tailor the message to the specific audience you're communicating with, or do you deliver the same words in the same way to the C-Suite, supervisors and managers and the hourly staff? Modifying the way you communicate can have a big impact. The good news is that our guest thinks HR gets conversations right about 80% of the time - but there's always room for some improvement. In this installment, we're joined by someone who's really great at conversations - William Tincup. William describes himself as "strange" because he excels at marketing, sales and HR. He's been blogging on HR issues since 2007, contributes to Fistful of Talent, TalentCulture and HRExaminer, and is the co-host of DriveThruHR.
