good communication is paramount to your
success as a leader many of us think
we're pretty decent communicators you
might even think you're a great
communicator but there is always room
for improvement a huge part of
leadership is knowing that you don't
know everything there's always something
new to learn there's always something
you can improve on so if you have that
open mind and you want to improve on
your leadership communication then the
next three tips i share with you in this
video are just for you honesty one of
the biggest reasons for miscommunication
in the workplace today is lack of
honesty and lack of transparency now
sometimes this is intentional but most
of the time it's unintentional you might
hold back from saying what you truly
think and feel for fear of offending
like when you have to give negative
feedback to someone for fear of being
too bold like when you have big
audacious ideas or for fear of being
found out that you are not intelligent
enough or not smart enough there are
many deep-seated reasons for a lack of
honesty in communication but what is
sure is that dishonest communication
will hold you back as a leader why do i
say that well when you communicate
honestly it helps you convey your raw
feelings your raw opinions and your
thoughts it's this real emotion that
gets people moving it's what gets people
motivated it's what gets people moving
towards the goals that you've set and
for you as a leader this is what will
make you successful in your job whereas
if you hide things from your team they
will immediately detect that you are not
being honest with them they'll start to
lose trust in you when they lose trust
they will stop believing in you and they
will stop following you and this is
where you lose impact as a leader do you
see the downward spiral that can happen
when you lack honesty in your
communication that is why it's extremely
important for you as a leader to be
honest to be transparent when you
communicate to your team to your clients
to any other stakeholders you need to be
transparent you need to say what you
think what you feel what you want this
is what will get people to believe in
you to trust you and to follow you
energy energy is contagious you might
have been in a conversation with
somebody one day when that person was
dull and they were really boring did
this make you feel excited or motivated
about what they were telling you
probably not the energy you give out
when you communicate to people has a
direct impact on the message they are
going to receive from you think of this
in terms of your team when you have low
energy when you're lethargic when you're
a bit tired and you communicate to your
team what feeling do you think they will
walk away with whereas when you're
energetic when you're positive when
you're enthusiastic about the goals that
you've set it's likely going to make
your team feel excited about that too

people who have charisma don't you think

successful somehow brings energy a
physical a spiritual or an emotional
energy into their environment that is
what you need to focus on as a leader if
