Leadership Tip of the Week

Give up all negative or undermining conversations!

You always have a choice about what conversations you will entertain and indulge in. If you want to be a powerful leader only engage in conversations that make a difference and forward your commitment. Remember, your personal space is influenced by the conversations you take part in.

Therefore, if you entertain negative, blame and undermining conversations about others – you are really undermining yourself. If you have issues with team members don’t let these fester. Address these issues directly. Also, don’t allow yourself to have negative, undermining thoughts about yourself.

When you have them, just say to yourself

“Thank you for sharing”

and move past them.
