About this episode

Send Chris a message

Today we're talking about management styles and the business English vocabulary, phrases and grammar that we can use when speaking about them, in English, at work. In part one of our series on leadership styles we're talking about democratic leadership and autocratic leadership. We discuss what these two styles are, when each is appropriate, and the vocabulary that we can use to communicate with our staff, colleagues, and teams, in these ways. So, if you're looking for vocabulary, phrases, and idioms to talk about management styles then today's episode is for you!

Also, if you're studying for the IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English tests and exams then you might find some of the vocabulary in this episode really useful.

This podcast is all about helping you to communicate better, in English, at work. I work with international English speakers from around the world who use English, at work, as a second or third language and I hope that I can bring some of the ideas, vocabulary, and grammar, from those sessions, to you in this podcast.

Don’t forget that my full time job is helping international professionals who use English at work to improve their communication skills. So, if you need English to do your job but don’t speak it natively then maybe we can work together to help you to achieve your language goals.

Today's examples:

I want to get everyone's buy in on this and make sure that we're all onboard before we move ahead so let me know where you're at on this.

I really want the whole team to have a say in how we come at this so if you have any ideas then I'm all ears.

I really want your insights before we move forwards with any changes because whatever we do should reflect the ideas of the whole team. 

I need everyone to drop what they're doing and focus on this for the rest of the day. Remember to adhere strictly to the new policies and let me know if you need my help with anything to get us over the finish line. 

By this point I'm sure you've all seen the new guidelines that were issued this morning. We're dealing with big changes across the board so I need everyone to be fully bought in.
