How to lead your choice?
To do the most effective communication in the
human world you must be the choice, not the follower. The choice is always the
priority, and following someone else is not leadership but misdirection.
The exception to this is when there is a
weakness that you can exploit, or a vulnerability one can take advantage of.
The weakness will be an opening that allows the other person to dig deeper and
connect with you better. If you want to win by leaving them wanting more, you
must be the leader and give them what they want. This is one of the secrets of
leadership and, more importantly, it's the foundation for communication and
leadership.
Communication is the glue that holds a group
together, or a team together. Without communication the result is chaos and
without communication failure and discord are always likely.
Leadership is about understanding who you are,
and who you need to be to lead effectively. You must be the leader before you
can learn to lead, and the only way to do this is to gain self-knowledge and
learn how to lead yourself. If you don't know who you are and how to lead then
you will never be able to lead others.
You have to lead yourself first, and then you
will be able to lead others. Why? There are many reasons, but the most
important is self-discipline.
Once you have learned how to lead yourself and can
lead others, you can then follow them and then apply the same principles you
learned and can apply to follow others. If you don't have self-discipline it's
going to be very difficult to lead others and if you don't follow yourself, you
won't be able to follow others either.
Communication is not about
"communication." Communication is the bridge between you and the
other person. And when the communication stops, communication fails.
Communication is also about the most effective
use of energy and attention. That is where you as the leader should focus your
attention. What are the strengths and weaknesses?
How to lead your choice is how to think about communication
and leader coaching. Leadership is about communicating with others and making a
difference.
The best leaders can communicate with their
followers and allow them to grow and develop and determine their path. They are
the ones who teach others and lead them, not the followers.
Communication is the last act of leadership
before power and influence. It's the bridge and the foundation for the leader
to be able to lead effectively and the follower to be able to follow.
You must first lead yourself and then you can
create a choice for your followers to follow. If you don't know how to lead
yourself, the easiest way to learn is to ask others how to lead and let others
lead you.
