I am so impressed that you would just go up to people and say, hay, i need you to talk less. The notion that you brought up of it doesn't have to be perfect echoes something we've talked a lot about on this podcast when we've talked to people who come from an imprave mind set. Just giving yourself permission to just get it out is really a nice first step for those who are reticent. And this notion of practice is critical. You dont record yourself. Try sy in things out.
“I say sometimes that leadership is a journey into yourself. It’s self-renewal, self-reflection, self-confidence. It’s going to bed kind of scratching your head and saying, “Man, I’m not as good,” and waking up the next morning and trying it again — and I think that’s what matters.” In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, former CEO of General Electric and Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer Jeff Immelt sits down with lecturer Matt Abrahams to discuss communicating during times of challenge and pressure. “There’s no such thing as perfection of crisis,” Immelt says. “This is a pass-fail test, and all you really want to do is make progress.”
