Leaders speak last

Whether you are running a meeting, leading a brainstorming session or building a strategy for a new partnership, product or a service, consider speaking last and here’s why.

As the most senior individual in that room or on that call, your opinion and thoughts will influence others and at times event prevent better ideas from surfacing. Enable, empower and expect all members of your team to speak and share their thoughts and ideas before you share yours. This tactic will do wonders for you, your team and your organization as a whole. Try it.
