Business Problems Solved Podcast Make it Small, Keep it Small When Leading People
In this episode, Lee wants to talk to you about simplicity. Over complication is the enemy of comprehension so when leading people keep it concise and simple to facilitate better understanding with those you lead.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Often when in change mode we can become over enthusiastic and overload a task explanation to a team member decreasing their comprehension, knowledge and confidence in the change at hand.
- Keep instructions to one for each task and you will be unlikely to have to repeat yourself.
- Really understand the task from the perspective of the other person to be able to communicate in the most sympathetic way.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you can’t explain something simply you don’t understand it well enough.’
‘When we start to deliver change in organisations and in businesses, we don’t necessarily keep it simple for the person, we over complicate things..’
‘The simpler you can make what they hear and not necessarily what you say, then that will help you be more successful.’
