Today’s
Leaders
Today’s leaders know
…
·
They are
ALWAYS communicating, even in their silence.
·
That each and
every communication either builds trust with others or destroys
it.
·
That each and
every communication either inspires commitment and greatness or instills fear
and an exit strategy when the job market is good.
·
They are
responsible for their communications.
·
They get what
they give.
Thus, today’s leaders
…
·
Are conscious
of ALL their communications. And
ask themselves, “Will this inspire, motivate and engage my followers to be their
best?”
·
Truly
understand that leadership is about how people feel in their presence Do they feel safe, trusted and
empowered, or insignificant and replaceable?
·
Recognize
that it takes many, many, MANY positive interactions to make up for a perceived
breach in trust or slight.
·
Realize that
as they treat one, others notice and remember.
·
Are cognizant
that short term decisions have long term effects.
·
Make the
right choices today for tomorrow’s success.
Today’s leaders communicate in a way
that builds trust and confidence in every single moment, in every single
way.
