Speaker:

Welcome back to

“Irresistible Communication”.

2

:

Two minutes, twice a week.

3

:

No nonsense advice on

leadership communication.

4

:

Some leaders are good at making decisions.

5

:

Others are good at making it

obvious how decisions are made.

6

:

Both can lead an organization to

incredible success, but only the latter

7

:

teaches the organization how to sustain

that success after their departure.

8

:

I've worked with both types of leaders.

9

:

The first type acts

like a discerning judge.

10

:

They would argue that their job is

to listen closely to all perspectives

11

:

and then make the final call.

12

:

The second type is more like a mentor,

guiding the team and understanding

13

:

the decision-making process itself.

14

:

They would argue that their job

is to articulate how choices

15

:

are made in the best interest

of the organization and foster a

16

:

culture of meaningful discussions.

17

:

In this environment, anyone is equipped

to make informed choices for the group.

18

:

While one leader makes the

decisions, the other empowers

19

:

everyone to be decision makers.

20

:

I'm writing a new book that teaches you

how to communicate effectively so that

21

:

your team knows how to make choices.

22

:It's going to be published in:
