Daily Leader Tip: WHY before the WHAT

As a Leader are you explaining why?

To your peers, to your customers, to your team.....

Specifically when:

➡️ You make decisions

➡️ Take a particular path

➡️ Make a change

➡️ Go against the norm

➡️ Say No

Why is this important?

The Why provides the story and background, the What provides the command and what we need to do. People feel motivated and inspired when they understand the story behind it and why it matters.

If you’ve gone straight in with “this is what we’re doing”, success is unlikely to follow.
