Words are an attempt to articulate reality. The reality that was yesterday. The reality that is today. And the reality that is tomorrow.
Words can be a weapon. They can bully, demonize, and destroy.
Words can embrace, energize, and elevate.
If these bookends are true, then what is the area in-between that seems to be moved by one or the other?
I have a great conversation with Chris Westfall, author of Leadership Language where we attempt to uncover the nuances of language that describe our internal journey as well as our impact on others. We learn that words matter. And our conscious use of them can help raise others up and moving in a positive direction. In the end, the observation and measurement of leadership is about how you show up and constructively influence those around you.
Chris urges us not to see leadership as conceptual. It is not an information exchange. It is not technique. It is about an understanding of oneself. And then authentically showing up for and with others.
The book is fast paced, pithy, and real. This great conversation may change what conversations you will have with yourself and others.
Enjoy.
