Welcome back to “Irresistible

Comunication”, two minutes, twice a week.

2

No nonsense advice for

leadership communication.

3

Today, we're diving into a

crucial leadership question.

4

How do we get our team on track?

5

Let's reframe that question.

6

What would make your team choose

the track if they had the choice?

7

Great leaders understand that.

8

Brilliant.

9

People don't need to be herded,

they're self-motivated you

10

don't need to get them on track.

11

They leap onto the track themselves,

if they believe it's the right one.

12

One where they can do meaningful

work, that they will feel proud of.

13

So, ask herself: what makes your

track the right one for them?

14

Is it clearly the path to meaningful work?

15

Does it resonate with your

team's values and aspirations?

16

These aren't just rhetorical questions.

17

They're the key to unlocking

genuine engagement.

18

It's not about pushing your team onto

what you think is the right track.

19

It's about making it so compelling,

so aligned with their values and

20

their aspirations that they can't

help but choose it themselves.

21

Instead of persuading

harder, resonate stronger!

22

This means.

23

Understanding your team's motivations,

their strengths, their dreams.

24

It's about aligning the track with

these elements so that the choice

25

becomes obvious and irresistible.

26

Your role as a leader, isn't

to direct, it's to inspire.

27

It's to create an environment where you

light the right track so brightly that

28

it becomes so clear and so appealing that

your team naturally gravitates towards it.

29

So, take a moment after this

podcast: reflect on your track!

30

Is it 100% clear to your team

that it's the right one for them?

31

How can you make it so

compelling that they choose it,

32

embrace it and thrive on it?

33

Keep lighting the path and

share this with a friend!
