Each week Kevin McCarthy and Likky Lavji facilitate authentic conversations with leaders just like you to help you discover what it takes from being a manager who is good at getting stuff done to being a great leader who inspires others to do their best. Honoring and respecting people during difficult conversations holds immense value due to several compelling reasons. First and foremost, it cultivates an environment of trust and openness. When individuals feel respected, acknowledged, and heard, they are more likely to engage in productive dialogue and share their perspectives honestly. This creates a safe space for authentic communication, leading to a better understanding of different viewpoints and potential solutions. Additionally, honoring and respecting people during difficult conversations promotes empathy and compassion. Recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of each individual involved encourages a deeper appreciation for their experiences, values, and emotions. This empathy enables participants to approach the conversation with greater sensitivity and consideration, fostering a collaborative atmosphere that seeks common ground and mutual understanding. We explore this and more in our Awareness Advantage podcast. Check out our episodes, and go from being a good manager--to a great leader!
