Communication

What is Communication? 

Conveying ideas effectively and identifying messages others are attempting to convey.

Teams prioritize this talent for a role because:

• Coworkers must be understanding and honest with each other to have a high-performing culture
• The reasoning behind decisions must be clear and well explained
• Feedback must be delivered tactfully and constructively

An ideal candidate will need to:

• Explain ideas with clear and concise language
• Receive and deliver feedback constructively
• Listen carefully and ask clarifying questions
• Use and interpret appropriate emotional cues

Communication includes the following competencies:

• Explaining Key Concepts with Clarity: Communicating concepts in a clear, concise, and easily understood manner.
• Listening and Attending to Others: Asking for input, listening, paraphrasing, and responding effectively when communicating with others.
• Responding to the Audience and Showing Empathy: Effectively using emotional and nonverbal cues to express support and encourage sharing.

What is the Plum Talent Model?

Talents are recurring patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. Often referred to as "soft skills," Talents represent our innate abilities and how we are hardwired as humans.

Plum reveals people's Talents with a single psychometric assessment that measures personality, social intelligence and problem-solving ability. While job titles, past experience and education merely show what a person has done in the past, Talents can actually predict what someone is capable of achieving in the future. They are 4X more predictive of future job success than what you'll find on a resume.
