Inspire and motivate your team using powerful verbal and nonverbal communication strategies.
Today’s leaders need to use effective, empathetic communication to bring out the best in their team members and let each individual shine.
Kasia Wezowski, a leading researcher on body language and communication skills, combines her cutting-edge research with Marshall Goldsmith’s leadership development methodology in this practical and timely resource for leaders. Goldsmith believes that a leader’s job is to bring out the best in each team member and Language That Leads breaks down the ten core qualities of leadership, providing easy-to-follow implementation steps to express, observe, and project these qualities effectively through verbal and nonverbal communication.
In these pages, readers will learn:
How to integrate adaptability, empathy, engagement, and transparency in interpersonal communication.How to cultivate courage, discipline, and integrity in order to build self-trust and garner trust from others.How to develop humility, positivity, and purpose in order to be a quietly powerful role model to team members.How to transform oneself internally to embody these ten qualities and empower others to do the same.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this derivative program, Wezowski (Without Saying a Word), a cofounder of the Center for Body Language, offers tips for improving one's management skills based on the core qualities of leadership as defined by executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, which include adaptability, empathy, integrity, and humility. Goldsmith, who contributes a foreword and was the subject of a documentary directed by Wezowski, is cited frequently throughout, as when Wezowski relates his advice on discipline, which urges readers to adopt the tenacity of Broadway performers who must put on a show no matter what's happening in their personal lives. Wezowski's own BLINK technique (Body Language Interpretations Nominology Know-How) promises to help readers interpret colleagues' "true feelings... by observing body language," but few will be surprised to learn that "smiling or nodding" indicate that an interlocutor favors an idea, and that "clenched fists" suggest the opposite. There are a few useful if commonsensical recommendations, such as calling on people with an upturned hand instead of pointing and mirroring the body language of others to build rapport, but the reliance on Goldsmith's ideas makes one wonder if it would be more efficient to read his books instead. Low on new ideas, this comes up short.
