Communication FUNdamentals
Oct. 4, 2006
It's hard to climb the ladder of sucess with your Foot in Your Mouth!
 Previously on the Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man...Click here! FIMM
went in to work early today in order to talk to his father (the
President of Blogger Cable) about a promotion. There was a
supervisor position open and he wanted it. It had been a few
weeks since the previous supervisor moved out of state and FIMM knew
they had been interviewing.
FIMM's Dad:
I'm sorry, son, but a supervisor has to be good with the people. A
supervisor has to discuss delicate issues with his customers and the
employees under him. Unfortunately, we have had some complaints
about how you communicate- even with your fellow employees.
FIMM: What complaints?!
FIMM's Dad:
(Pulling out a file resembling War and Peace) Well, for
starters...the day that Bob was sick... and he came in to get his
check. You told him to "suck it up!" and you made him work.
FIMM: Yeah.
Well, Bob hadn't done one call all day! All he had was a slight
cold. I just told him to keep up with the team. You
know...to motivate him-like any good leader would.
FIMM's Dad: Bob was on vacation!
Pssst: Don't be like FIMM! Check out Art of Eloquence.com and learn communication skills the fun way! And tune in next week for another episode of the Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man! Have you seen FIMM's video? It's FIMMtastic! From JoJo's Purple Crayon... It isn't enough to KNOW God's Word... We must be able to ARTICULATE it! Talk is cheap. Effective communication skills are priceless!
