Deep dives
Fast and intentional responsiveness sets exceptional leaders apart
Exceptional leaders, often referred to as unicorns, stand out from the crowd by their fast and intentional responsiveness. They have an obsession with promptly and intentionally getting back to people, whether it's in a professional or personal context. This quality makes them memorable and distinguishes them from others who are slow or lazy in their response. The importance of responsiveness extends beyond personal communication. For example, studies have shown that responding quickly to first-time donors in a church significantly increases the likelihood of converting them into long-term donors. While technology and AI are making fast responses more common, the impact of a personal response from a human still holds tremendous value.
