Great leaders inspire action with their words. They spark enthusiasm and commitment. With a single conversation, they can change the direction of someones life.
Everyone wants to be the kind of leader who energizes and mobilizes others--yet too few are. Why is it so challenging to crack the code?
Executive coach Kristi Hedges spent years studying exactly what inspiring leaders do differently. Informed by quantitative research and thousands of responses from leaders at all levels, she reveals that inspiring communication isnt about grand gestures. Instead, those who motivate us most do a few things routinely, consistently, and intentionally. Inspirational people are:
PRESENT: investing their full attention and letting conversations flow
PERSONAL: speaking genuinely, listening generously, and acknowledging the potential of those around them
PASSIONATE: exhibiting sincere emotion and exuding energy attuned to the situation
PURPOSEFUL: helping others find meaning and see their place in the bigger picture
Eye-opening and accessible, The Inspiration Code dispels common myths about how leaders communicate--and guides them in cultivating qualities that authentically excite.
Inspired companies need inspirational leaders. Learn to unlock motivation, lift peoples sights, and lead them into the future.
