“We Learn…
10%…of What We Read
20%…of What We Hear
30%…of What We See
50%…of What We See and Hear
70%…of What We Discuss With Others
80%…of What We Experience Personally
95%…of What We Teach Others” - William Glasser Via: Life 2.0

Getting the message across is one of the most challenging leadership tasks. People are powerfully engaged when they emotionally connect with the leader’s message. Meaningful conversation, shared experiences and teaching are the foundation of emotional connections with others. Weak communication results in emotional detachment and people disengage from the leader’s vision and goals. Effective leaders spend time with their people in conversation and in shared experiences, using their experience to teach and mentor others.

• What’s your primary means of communication?
• Are your people actively engaged in conversation?
• How much time do you spend with your people?
• Do you use shared experiences to teach important lessons?
