Welcome back to “Irresistible

Comunication”, two minutes, twice a week.

2

:

No nonsense advice for

leadership communication.

3

:

Today, we're diving into a

crucial leadership question.

4

:

How do we get our team on track?

5

:

Let's reframe that question.

6

:

What would make your team choose

the track if they had the choice?

7

:

Great leaders understand that.

8

:

Brilliant.

9

:

People don't need to be herded,

they're self-motivated you

10

:

don't need to get them on track.

11

:

They leap onto the track themselves,

if they believe it's the right one.

12

:

One where they can do meaningful

work, that they will feel proud of.

13

:

So, ask herself: what makes your

track the right one for them?

14

:

Is it clearly the path to meaningful work?

15

:

Does it resonate with your

team's values and aspirations?

16

:

These aren't just rhetorical questions.

17

:

They're the key to unlocking

genuine engagement.

18

:

It's not about pushing your team onto

what you think is the right track.

19

:

It's about making it so compelling,

so aligned with their values and

20

:

their aspirations that they can't

help but choose it themselves.

21

:

Instead of persuading

harder, resonate stronger!

22

:

This means.

23

:

Understanding your team's motivations,

their strengths, their dreams.

24

:

It's about aligning the track with

these elements so that the choice

25

:

becomes obvious and irresistible.

26

:

Your role as a leader, isn't

to direct, it's to inspire.

27

:

It's to create an environment where you

light the right track so brightly that

28

:

it becomes so clear and so appealing that

your team naturally gravitates towards it.

29

:

So, take a moment after this

podcast: reflect on your track!

30

:

Is it 100% clear to your team

that it's the right one for them?

31

:

How can you make it so

compelling that they choose it,

32

:

embrace it and thrive on it?

33

:

Keep lighting the path and

share this with a friend!
