The Danger of Casual Communication in Business Leadership
Bill Baylis makes a bold claim about the nature of success: "Our proposition is that to the degree to which you desire to achieve a successful business, you must connect or communicate with other people, deeply."
The Limits of Casual Talk
Most business owners think they communicate well because they talk to their team every day. But casual communication fails to get underneath normal assumptions, doubts, and fears. It skims the surface of the real issues.
Active Business Communication
What is required is active business communication — controlled business communication vs. casual communication. Controlled communication has a purpose, a structure, and an intended outcome. It is not just chatting; it is diagnosing and solving.
Sharing Who You Really Are
That connection must be a sharing of who you really are, not who you want that person to think you are. Vulnerability from leadership invites honesty from the team, which is the only way to uncover the real profit leaks.
