Tip # 765 I A Foster Strategies Group Guide to Finding Out What Your Leaders Are Thinking
First of all, let's agree to Stop Guessing or Assuming.
Next, follow our Success Formula carefully.
✨Choose one of your leaders.
✨Step out of the office with them and go somewhere nearby.
✨Spend $10 on a few cups of coffee.
✨Sit down.
👉Breathe-and let them breathe also.
✨Slow down the pace and enjoy casual talk.
✨Fight the urge to have your 'agenda'.
✨Let the conversation find its way back to business, but let it be what is on their mind today, not yours.
✨Listen carefully.
✨Now listen like the Leader you are, the Leader they need you to be.
✨Don't try to solve anything.
Marinate on the conversation overnight.
✨Think about their perspective.
✨Where are you in alignment?
✨Where are they heading in another direction?
✨How did they enlighten you?
Now, jot a few notes down to yourself, and then ask them to meet for Coffee # 2.
Continue listening, and listen from a far more informed position as a trustworthy, calm, confident and capable Leader.
Now it's time to talk with them...not at them...with them.
You will suddenly start to find your people opening up sooner and more frequently, which is precisely what you want from those you have entrusted with Leadership roles.
