Leading Beyond the Echo of Your Own voice - Are you a last word leader?

Telling it Like it Is Vol 8: Leading Beyond the Echo of Your Own voice. Are you a last word leader?

If you are, you probably are not aware of it. The team knows it. If you are, it's as if you are the director of your own monologue and your team, nodding their heads have learned you need applause, and likely have forgotten their own voices as a form of self-preservation.

A last word leader operates within their own fortress of certainty built on the sands of insecurity. This leader swaps priorities like baseball cards, leaving teams in a constant state of distress, blaming them for lack of execution.

The foundation of high performing teams is trust, and it is built on consistency, transparency, and the ability to listen well.
