Effective communication is essential for leaders, but balancing authority with approachability can be challenging. Many leaders inadvertently hinder open communication, leading to disengaged teams and low morale. In this episode, we chat with author, keynote speaker, and speaking coach, Linnita Hosten on how she assists leaders in overcoming these challenges by emphasizing authenticity, self-awareness, and the power of voice, fostering better collaboration and productivity.
Key Takeaways on Understanding Power in Leadership:
• There are two types of power for leaders: earned authority and established influence.
• Earned authority comes from building relationships and trust, making it easier to navigate conflicts.
• Established influence relies on a leader’s title and can lead to communication issues if empathy and connection are lacking.
