Leading People How to Write Emails That Build Trust and Get Results
In this episode…
How often do you hit send on an email without considering how your words might land with the recipient?
Leadership communication carries emotional weight, and without the benefit of facial expressions or body language, your carefully crafted emails can easily be misinterpreted.
This episode tackles a deceptively simple yet powerful leadership practice.
When you're in a position of leadership, your words carry extra weight and get amplified throughout your team.
That quick message about a missed deadline or that feedback on a project might seem straightforward to you, but how will it make your reader feel? Will they perceive your tone as supportive or critical? Clear or confusing?
The most effective leaders understand that clarity is kindness and can transform routine communication into a meaningful connection. Remember, you're not being bossy when you're specific about what you need - you're being helpful.
Every email you send as a leader is a "moment of truth" for your leadership style and values. By applying the simple practices in this episode of One Simple Thing, you can ensure your communications build trust rather than erode it.
