Show notes

During our conversation, we have discussed:

To become a great leader, we have to shift the focus from ourselves to others.

Robin's formula consists of building into our communication those 4 things:

Seek the thoughts and opinions and others, rather than giving them yours
Talk in terms of their priorities instead of yours
Be non-judgmentally curious
Give people choices

Doing at least one of them in each conversation makes people like and trust you instantly.

How important is managing expectations are when building relationships and how to do it effectively
The difficult conversation often starts with us saying "Stan by, I am about to throw you out of the tribe". Robin explained what managers can do differently to avoid this, frequently unintended, situation.
