I’m a big fan of high fat, low sugar, Greek yogurt. The only problem with this product is that it comes with a “built in” expiration date. It doesn’t last long even when refrigerated.
Your voice is kinda like yogurt. It’s got a built in expiration date with your team. Early on, most people want to hear what you have to say. As time passes this changes. Some grow tired because they don’t like what you have to say or particularly how you say it. Some grow tired because they’ve heard it all before and think they’ve got your message. Some grow tired because they’ve gotten tired of listening to anyone, including you. Some just grow tired.
Want to extend your voice’s expiration date?
Get busy learning more verses. Get busy mastering your craft. Get busy studying, learning, and applying. Get busy increasing the substance behind what you say. And, while you’re at it, practice working on your tone, your body language, and, most importantly, speaking from your heart. Master connectors are built the same way masters are built in anything. Practice and more practice.
Want a better team? Want a team that listens? Want a team that goes through the wall for you? Want a team that connects to your vision and to each other?
Become a better leader. Become someone worth listening to…
