Less is More

As a leader or manager of a department, WHAT you say has an impact on the people you lead. Sometimes the more you try and impress these people with your words the more you may become just a common apparition within the business. The more you speak about common events or non work related topics the less in control you really are.

Only speak when spoken to or when you really have something important to say, do not undermine your authority with trivial banter, you will end up being JUST ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES and your staff may not take you seriously when what you say really counts. The more you speak the more likely you will stick your foot in your mouth and say something out of place or something that makes you look foolish.

Powerful leaders or managers lead by saying less and and doing more in the background, things that can be seen and not heard. When leading or managing – less is more!
