Here's how you can enhance your communication skills to manage up with your boss in logistics operations.

I believe communication basically starts with active listening. Listening facilitates perfect interpretation of subject. This should be followed by articulating our say in minimal and clear words. Having key words puts an additional impact to convey the message more effectively. Ultimately enhances communication whether it or verbal or written.

Communication ahead of actions is the best way to keep your boss update and sync on logistics operations. Supply personnel that have the anticipation skill will be the most effective communicators to their superiors as they have fort-sight to make the business successful.

Besides paying close attention to what your supervisor has to say, it is also vital to ask questions that will assist you in better understanding what they expected from you. This will help you better comprehend what they expect from you. When your supervisor is speaking, it is imperative that you pay close attention to what they have to say. These two things are not more significant than one another in any way, shape, or form. When it comes to the significance of paying close attention to what your supervisor has to say, it is impossible to emphasize the extent to which it is necessary to do so.

Na minha experiencia em logistica e compras, acredito que o dialogo é uma excelente ferramenta pois assim se pode enxergar o processo do ponto de vista do "outro", a forma que ele enxerga e com isso, iniciar a melhor solução para a questão. Outra coisa bem importante é estudar os processos e suas atualizações, novas formas de trabalho, legislação, dentre outros. Estudar também novas formas de comunicação, aplicativos de mensagem, e-mail, podcasts, comunicação via rádio, uso do GPS, dentre outras podem ser utilizadas como fontes de comunicação entre as partes, garantindo a fidedignidade da informação.

La escucha activa motivará al emisor del mensaje y nos ayudará a crear una opinión fundamentada sobre el mismo. Por lo tanto, traerá beneficios tanto para el emisor del mensaje como para el receptor en términos de comprensión y formación de opiniones.

There is a reason Active Listening is number 1 and Clarity Counts is number 2. Active listening does not just mean listening to the words coming from your bosses mouth, but listening to their behavior. Where do they spend their time? What tasks do they focus on the most? What appears to put your boss in flow and what stresses your boss? In addition to understanding your boss, you must understand the operations of your business and what are the critical elements that lead to success. It is said that true genius is the ability to take the complex and distill it down to a simple explanation or process, Clarity. This is a very underrated skill. Often times we see the opposite. Understand your environment and communicate it in simple terms.

2. Clarity Counts: - Be clear and concise in your communication. - Avoid jargon unless you're sure the other person understands it. - Use examples to illustrate your points.

Un lenguaje de comunicación sencillo evita malas interpretaciones y a su vez ayuda a reducir tiempos de respuesta entre los departamentos que lleguen a estar involucrados en el tema cuando se trata de comunicación interna, sin embargo, es necesario identificar los momentos en los que se debe de tomar el tiempo de redactar un documento con leguaje técnico y adecado para el externado de la empresa y lleva la congruencia y propiedad necesaria.

Both clarity and active listening are essential in logistics operations, but clarity arguably holds a slight edge in terms of immediate operational impact. Here’s why: 1. Task Execution: Clear instructions minimize errors and ensure tasks like loading and transport are done accurately. 2. Communication: Clear messages reduce misunderstandings, enhancing efficiency in conveying shipment details and schedules. 3. Documentation: Clear records (invoices, manifests) ensure accuracy in tracking and regulatory compliance. 4. Operational Efficiency: Clarity in roles and processes streamlines workflows and improves overall efficiency in logistics.

I believe that clear and concise communication between hierarchy enhances the logistic betterment. It helps in better trust and understanding folloeed by improvement in skills and knowledge. This eventually results in improved process and continuous improvement of people and technology.

It is crucial to continuously receive feedback from your management regarding your performance. This feedback should be provided on a consistent basis. The feedback in question ought to be provided to you. This feedback may not only be of assistance to you in determining areas in which you could improve, but it may also reflect that you are motivated to learn new things and develop your skills. Due to the fact that this is the case, you will be able to identify areas in which you have opportunity for improvement.

In my experience: 1. Schedule regular feedback sessions to discuss performance and improvement. 2. Listen and Accept Feedback: Accept constructive criticism. 3. Constructive Feedback: Provide specific process improvements. 4. Apply input and notify the boss. 5. Encourage Two-Way Communication: Value feedback. 6. Use Technology: Use digital platforms to collect and analyze input efficiently.

Feedback, whether good or bad is vital to progress. Be open to and seek out feedback from your management to understand both your areas for growth and what you’re doing well that you should continue. Really listen to what management has to say and avoid getting defensive or interrupting so you can fully realize what they are communicating. Allow yourself time to process and provide your honest response. Likewise, when providing feedback to your management, it is imperative to be authentic about your perspective. Management cannot always see everything happening at your level. Share your thoughts on opportunities for improvement and new ideas often, as this is how change happens.

Recibir feedback es crucial ya que nos aporta una clarificación de las expectativas, favorece la motivación, mejora la comunicación y desarrolla la empatía.

3. Feedback Flow: - Encourage open and honest feedback. - Provide constructive feedback regularly. - Be open to receiving feedback and act on it.

One thing I found very useful is to prepare the agenda, prior deciding which is the right timing for a meeting. Agenda will provide me approximate needed time, so I can this way choose the most convenient period. Additionally I usually prepare remarks / notes prior any discussion, this way I minimize meeting time required.

Considero que la organización de las tareas y la gestión del tiempo son fundamentales para la productividad, además nos ayudará a mejorar la calidad de nuestro trabajo cumpliendo con los plazos establecidos.

4. Timing Matters: - Choose the right time for important discussions. - Be mindful of your boss’s schedule and workload. - Avoid bringing up important issues during stressful times.

No es noticia nueva que los horarios más productivos de los trabajadores es al iniciar la jornada laboral, por lo que es el mejor momento para discutir temas importantes, antes de recibir todo el estimulo de las actividades del día, aunque en mi experiencia, el reaalizar reuniones uno a uno fuera del ambiente habitual de operaciones (un cafe, un restaurante, etc.) ayuda a que las personas se sientan más abiertas a exponer puntos de vista sin la formalidad de estar en la empresa.

Logistics sector is an industry which is very dynamic and needs lot of attention to detailing. During the office hours usually bosses would be busy. Therefore, to gain undivided attention in a discussion, it would be better to follow the below : 1. Take an appointment to discuss, preferably a less stress time. 2. Have good clarity about subject with points to discuss correctly written down. 3. Communicate effectively, by listening and sticking to the points of discussion. 4. Time does matter, keep conversation simple, clear and finish within a stipulated time. This method of discussion would support to communicate with clarity and gain required results too.

Um exemplo que já vivenciei, e de que a pressão exercida sobre seu superior não se compara a nossa, desde pressão por menor custo ou maior agilidade em tempo isso tudo e bem importante ter em mente quando se está tratando assuntos com seus gestores, a importância em saber que a cobrança está maior nos ombros dele. Isso ajuda na hora da conversa para evitar julgamentos errados

5. Empathy Exercise: - Understand and acknowledge your boss’s perspective and challenges. - Show empathy and support. - Use “I” statements to express your feelings without sounding accusatory.

Empathy is important when leading in any organization (up, down, and laterally). You cannot lead effectively if you do not understand what is important to others. This topic is closely related to active listening. Work to identify and put aside your biases. Seek to understand. Empathy does not mean you must agree with the other person, nearly to understand them. If you do not understand them, you will struggle to communicate with them.

Empathy indeed plays a pivotal role in logistics management. By understanding the unique challenges and objectives of your superiors, you can communicate more effectively and propose solutions that resonate with their priorities. This approach not only fosters a positive working relationship but also positions you as a strategic thinker who contributes to the overall success of the logistics operations.

votre patron est un humain comme les autres et la résistance au changement peut aussi faire parti de son programme. Il faut travailler à deverouiller les freins suivants: - Peur du changement - Manque de compétences nécessaires - Processus organisationnels rigides - Résistance culturelle - Manque de ressources

Continuos improvement in technology, communication standards and methods, process implementation strategies, work assignments and schedules will help a lot in logistics as a slight turbulence will bring in a better curve than being streamlined everytime. This slight turbulence improves the graph making you accountable and valuable amidst all the chaos.

Continuous learning is vital in logistics management for staying competitive and improving operations: 1. Industry Trends: Stay updated on evolving technologies and practices to enhance efficiency and competitiveness. 2. Skill Development: Continuously develop skills in areas such as supply chain optimization, risk management, and sustainability. 3. Problem-Solving: Learn new strategies to address challenges like transportation delays or inventory management issues effectively. 4. Adaptation: Adapt to regulatory changes and global market shifts through ongoing education and training. 5. Innovation: Foster innovation by exploring new ideas and methodologies to streamline logistics processes and improve customer satisfaction.

Yes it's really important Continuous learning is essential in logistics, a field that is constantly evolving with new technologies and methodologies. By staying updated with the latest trends, best practices, and innovations, logistics professionals can improve efficiency, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. Embracing continuous learning fosters a culture of growth, ensuring that logistics operations remain competitive and effective in an ever-changing landscape.

Constantly improve your communication skills. I attended workshops and read books on effective communication, which helped me articulate my ideas better and build rapport with my boss.

Learning how to simplify complex concepts will help you gain buy in for your ideas from executives, while influencing and teaching your colleagues. The ability to visually organize information is invaluable when breaking down ideas. Don’t be afraid to use smart art and other tools that provide templates for lists, processes, and relationships.

Modeling an abstract or large process can be revealing and insightful. Often large logistics chains, webs, processes, etc. can be hard to conceptualize. In addition, two people working side by side may have two different mental models. If the model is not conceptualized (visual or verbal), the two cannot be sure they are working off of the same model. Therefore they may be addressing different issues or could perform actions that are counterproductive to the other. In addition, a conceptual model will help identify potential gaps, pitfalls, and bottlenecks. Moving on from modeling and running that model through a simulation will highlight additional targets for efficiency and/or risk. Model your architecture, simulate your process.

Une chose que j'ai trouvée utile est l'accent mis sur l'écoute active, essentielle pour comprendre les attentes et résoudre les problèmes logistiques efficacement. En fait, je ne suis pas d'accord avec l'idée que le timing est le seul facteur clé pour la communication réussie. La préparation et la clarté sont tout aussi cruciales. J'ai notamment constaté que l'article n'aborde pas suffisamment l'importance de la technologie dans la communication logistique. Les outils de gestion de projets et les logiciels de suivi en temps réel peuvent améliorer la précision et la rapidité des communications.

D'après mon expérience, Un des points clés de la communication en logistique est le fait de toujours donner l'impression que l'on a la vision d'ensemble dans notre activité et d'anticiper en proposant des solutions sur d'éventuels problèmes à venir
