85% of my executive clients have learned that, better than
words [text, email, phone], Silence has the unique power that enables
[empowers] others to take engage about things they normally would not...for
you.
That's true leadership!
Take the top executive, Mark, who engaged me me to help him
transition to his new role. He was
challenged both in getting support from his superiors as well as to get his
admin to step up and organize his day.
Mark to CEO: "Mary, I would value your thoughts on how
I might better succeed on Project Arrow. What are your thoughts, please?" SILENCE.
Mark to Admin: "Elizabeth, I need your help to better
organize my day. What would you suggest we
could do to make that happen"
SILENCE.
Results:
When Mark was aware of his need to talk, he kept his mouth
shut. And he got valuable information
that caused him to exceed expectations of himself and those around him.
Silence works, when we learn how to stop talking and listen!
