Why will they listen to me? • What problem will I help them solve? #SHRM13 @KevinCSnyder
The Results of Poor Communication • Decreased Morale • Lower Productivity • Hostile Workforce Culture • Disengagement • Inhibited Teambuilding • Employee Attrition/Turnover • Confusion/Lack of Clarity
Majority of the workforce by 2015! #SHRM13 @KevinCSnyder
The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has actually taken place. Don’t confuse ACTIVITY with PRODUCTIVITY #SHRM13 @KevinCSnyder

FI LAND THAT JETFIGHTER! Communications Activity
Activity Directions • No talking • Only communicate through notes • Must raise hand for messenger • Three songs!
How did this game make you feel? Who felt frustrated?
Group questions As Pilots sitting in the ‘A’ seat, what strategies could we have implemented to prevent communication breakdown? As ‘C-D-E’ passengers, what could we have done since we find ourselves in the back, lacking information?
“PILOTS – A Seat” ~ Don’t assume everyone knows what you know ~ Ensure everyone knows the objective ~ Acknowledge you need everyone to get to safety ~ Delegate/ask for help
“Co-Pilot/Navigator – B Seat” ~ Be clear about what the objectives are ~ Ask “Head Honcho” for clarification and help ~ Let “Passengers” know what you know
“Passengers – C-D-E” ~ Be clear about what the objectives are ~ Ask “Mechanics” for clarification and help ~ Don’t just sit there … Get Involved!
Communicate differently based on what we know • We need everyone in the plane • As professionals, we find ourselves in each seat at that same time
‘Jet fighter’ activity directions are on the next few slides! Or you can visit my website, www.kevincsnyder.com/resources to download the directions and powerpoint * Note: I have 2 communications exercises; ‘Jetfighter’ and ‘Roller Coaster.’
Activity Directions • No talking • Only communicate through notes • Must raise hand for messenger • Three songs!
