Advanced Business English that Results to Leadership Competencies

"The power of innovative thinking, critical reasoning, communicating affectively and learning new insights enable us to connect with others throughout our lives. The skills are intangible to many but these are the competencies that will make us adequately communicative as human beings."

Facts: 
Our Researches show that there is a growing deficiency in the area of Advanced Business English Competency among individuals who are leading teams, communicating extensively to external parties outside a given organization, cannot explain or sustain effective communicative proficiency when speaking with an audience, notwithstanding that a bigger population of Expats deployed in many English speaking countries cannot demonstrate adequate competencies in Business English as a business language.  58 percent up to 71 percent range of internationally deployed workforce have acknowledged their handicap is on Business English Skills in Advanced Level to support the demand and communication requirements of their jobs. 

Innovative Goals:
Among the workforce of multi-national organizations from other countries, who migrated to the United States and other English-speaking countries needed extra efforts in exploiting their inabilities of articulating their ideas with their co-workers. To increase the needed level of proficiency, one must register in Advanced Business English Class, Coaching or Workshop that will enable usable techniques and skills of being a leader at a given work setting.

Limitations Prohibit Career Advancement:
While there is an enormous desire to increase one's competencies in Advanced Business English after arrival at their new environment. Majority have failed in making strategic decisions to learn effectively. Instead, they enrolled in traditional ESL Classrooms and centers that provided those Generic ESL Lessons and did not develop their business technical English competencies.

Leading a team but cannot articulate thoughts and ideas - Leadership Blunder

As a team leader, responsibilities cover management of people, the team's organization, efficiency of communication, processes, services, other business activities, results and must be in line with overall objectives of the business.

Let’s look at Michael’s experiences, who was a new Team Manager at his fast growing organization. He was recently promoted to his new role from his engineering role for the last seven years. He gained expertise in his role, demonstrated essential knowledge competencies and delivered magnificent accomplishments in performing his job. He was promoted to lead seven people with ranges of experiences from 6 months to 5 years. 

In the early days of his role, it was exciting; he was having a blast, enjoying all the perks that came with it. He started planning for his vacation when he completed his first year. However, there are some things that were bothering him. 

Credits: IdeasN, Microsoft.com

Michael was reflecting some of the situations that have occurred:

1. In his first day, he met with his team members. He was very confident in getting to know them, clarifying their roles and responsibilities. However, he was very nervous and felt short in explaining all the things that he wanted to accomplish. He cannot find the right words in articulating his thoughts. He decided to postpone the sharing of other information. However, as soon as he got into his office, he sent an email to his team enumerating what he wanted to share with them. He did this because of his inability to articulate his ideas when speaking.

2. During the meeting with his co-managers, he was unable to discuss and tell the entire story about his team's activities and members because the words that he wanted to use cannot be articulated. He struggled to verbalize his thoughts in front of his co-managers. He was frustrated and was very embarrassed. Others told him “don’t worry, we understand what you meant! English is not your first language.”  He believed that his inability to speak will create some issues eventually.

3. A member of his team brought to his attention an escalating issue with a customer. When speaking with customers over the telephone, he was getting frustrated for his inability to verbally express the best options that the customers can take. Instead, he was giving polite excuses by telling customers that he will email more detailed information.  Michael was finding it more and more challenging to communicate effectively.

4. Michael was meeting with four other management colleagues after work hours. He was excited about joining them as he can do bonding with them. He enjoyed their company, learning more about their thoughts and practices. But when it comes to sharing about his interests and passion such as travels, outdoor activities, and other social functions. He was limited with words. He felt embarrassed with management peers but he claimed that he was more confident in talking things with his personal friends. 

What factors have contributed to the issues of Michael?

1. He lacks adequate business vocabulary and phrases to support his  ideas in front of his team

2. He lacks verbal and speaking competencies or  proficiency that will articulate his business and personal ideas

3. He lacks speaking communication skills that will make him more credible towards customers and management peers

4. He lacks conversational skills that will support his thoughts, ideas and opinions during small talks with business colleagues, peers and new acquaintances.

5. His organization did not prepare him for advance management role, nor trained him to become a team manager

What steps that Michael can do?
Because Michael is leading a team of people. He will need to acquire knowledge and skills through a program called "Advanced Business English for Effective Communication". This will give him the opportunity to develop adequate proficiency in both business leadership and communication skills. Many of the issues he faced are covered in this program; such as increasing functional vocabulary, learning techniques in conducting situational scenarios, communicative skills development, increase verbal customer relations skills, ability to talk with new acquaintances in small talks topics and ability to conduct himself as a more professional as a real manager during business meetings within or outside his organization.

Speaking with an experienced leadership trainer and coach at Ideas N Conversations will identify the real cause of his issues. The free assessment which Ideas N Conversations use in determining those difficulties will allow them to create a suitable and customized program that will eliminate his difficulties. He can use these new learning immediately after each session. 

Why do organizations need to step up?

In order for the organization to become successful with their business goals. They need to assess ahead of time the capabilities of their employees. One important role is to prepare talented employees to become team leaders, show them the  ropes in leading, their responsibilities, mentoring them before they will assume the role as a full time people manager.

These are issues within many organizations. They do not invest on their people because their focus is an immediate return of revenues. When you look at the overall performance of employees, many do not meet all expected results because of inefficiencies and lack of skills, knowledge and 'know hows'.

Unique Differences between Advanced Business English and Business English

Are there differences between Advanced Business English and Business English?

Yes, there are...

Competencies in Business English are acquired by adult English speakers through experiential immersion, assimilation and practice with contextual relevance of ideas, utterances and their meanings. In this globalized business environment, English competence has become a critical skill of an individual for competitiveness within enterprises.

First, a Business English is a specialized form of the English language that illustrates functional norms of the language that relate to different businesses. In basic context, this language form generally use common business terminologies, phrases, statements and utterances that are business in nature. Employees that work in different businesses use basic business English language to portray their ideas, opinions, and experiences. Their referential use was based from either their personal family unit, they acquired from school, or from social interactions among English speakers. Many English speakers regardless of their locations struggle to demonstrate proficiency or skill in Business English. This is because the English classes they learned in school were not focused in the skills development and practice of using English within the business environment.

Second, an Advanced Business English is specially focused to a more complex use of Business English within growing, medium size or large organizations. This incorporates functional areas of businesses and action oriented results. This type of English within the business environment is required to illustrate effective communicative competence in either verbal or written. The psycho-socio-linguistic characteristics of the Advanced Business English must be demonstrated immensely among speakers because proficiency supports credibility. With strong acumen in communicating your ideas verbally, this means possibilities for advancement is open-ended.

When you  have experienced the lack of these competencies and skills, you can contact Ideas N Conversations to discuss and explore the appropriate program for you. Their expert will conduct an assessment of your current weaknesses and strengths.
