Welcome to this new episode where we talk about (THE LEADERSHIP HANDBOOK) book written by American author and leader John C. Maxwell. The book provides important lessons for leaders to be successful and effective.
The nineteenth lesson is (Be a communicator, not just a climber). The important points under this lesson are the the following:
- Reaching the top without connecting with our followers, at best, allows us to lead people without their loyalty.
- Connective people focus on moving where other people are. They think more about who is on the journey with them and how they can be alongside them.
- Relationship-oriented people focus more on building bridges.
- Communication-oriented individuals are more concerned with getting everyone on the same page so they can work together.
- The biggest problems professionals face aren't related to their competence, but rather to their interpersonal skills.
- The most influential leaders are always able to balance communication and advancement.
- Success is fleeting, but relationships endure. If you adopt a communication-oriented approach to leadership, you'll have a greater chance of success.
