True leadership means inspiring rather than micromanaging, creating an environment where people feel trusted and empowered to bring their best. This episode explores five powerful ways to transform your conversations from controlling to inspiring, helping you become a more magnetic and effective leader.
• Give people your full attention - make eye contact, lean in, and create a distraction-free space when communicating
• Listen to understand, not just respond - use phrases like "what I'm hearing is..." to confirm understanding
• Find common ground and connection points with your team members to build trust
• Acknowledge three wins for every suggestion for improvement to create a positive feedback culture
• Lead with warmth balanced with competence to create charisma that inspires respect
• Inspire ownership by setting the vision but trusting people to develop the "how"
• Focus on behaviors rather than attacking identity when corrections are needed
• Create psychological safety where questions are welcomed and valued
