Asserting effectively as a leader isn't just about pushing your agenda. It's about recognizing the needs of the people you're working with and framing incentives to meet them. #Leadership #Assertiveness #Incentives #mentorship #Leadershipdevelopment

In a world where many play their cards close to the chest, it can be disarming to show vulnerability! #influence #softskills #relationships #emotionalintelligence #leadership

A lack of understanding regarding the wants and needs of another party can stifle negotiations. Suppose you're trying to push a proposal through regarding a specific department. You need to understand that department's workflow/challenges, and how it relates to your proposition.

Keeping your head while under pressure leads to smoother confrontations happening less often. Plus, it can lead to you building up a lot of newfound respect with those around you. #positivepower #influence #leadership #softskills #emotionalintelligence #softskilldevelopment

Disengaging from a conversation that has gone past being productive is an excellent example of a possible tactic. Come back to the conversation when the other party has cooled off a bit. It can be challenging to say the right things when there's a lot of pressure on a situation.

If I reach across you intending to grab something, but instead spill coffee on you, are you going to be more worried about what I wanted to happen or the coffee on your lap? #influence #positivepower #leadership #softskills #emotionalintelligence #businessdevelopment

We don't want to sacrifice our relationships in order to meet our goals; it's generally not worth it. It's also not necessary to sacrifice our goals to maintain our relationships. There is almost always a pragmatic and tactful way forward. #softskills #emotionalintelligence

How do we manage our energy in a way that influences our emotions positively? Eating right and exercising is a great start. In the heat of a difficult moment, deep breathing exercises can help when your emotions get the best of you.

As a leader, using the personal power you've built up naturally is much more effective than your positional power. There will be situations where you need to flex your positional power, but it can hurt your relationships if done brashly! #softskills #leadership

If your points are weak, they are vulnerable to being picked apart in a negotiation, making your side of the discussion appear weaker overall. #softskills #emotionalintelligence #companyculture #negotiation

A relationship is either nourished or neglected based on the actions and reactions of the people involved. #positivepower #influence #leaderfollower #leadership #softskills #emotionalintelligence #communicationskills #relationships

Suppose 90% of employers are looking for soft skills during the hiring process, which are essential to career longevity. In that case, your soft skills make you a more competitive hire than the next person (who may even have more technical knowledge than you). #softskills

Make yourself stand out from the pack during difficult times, and lead by example! Sometimes when emotions are running hot, all you need is one person's cool head to pacify a situation. #softskills #emotionalintelligence #leadership #companyculture

While it can be tempting to try to lean into your influencing strengths, experimenting, and stepping outside of your comfort zone will yield positive long-term results as you familiarize yourself with your acquaintances' preferences! #positivepower #leadership #companyculture

If there is someone outside the situation that you can talk to, it may be healthy and helpful to get some outside perspective. Overthinking can be detrimental to your emotions, productivity, and even your behavior. So get that closure, and move on! #softskills

Our reactions to different events drive the situation forward, even at the worst times. If you are frantic and overly emotional, you'll have a worse time than if you were calm and collected. Make sure to breathe and approach the situation as calmly as possible!

It may seem simple, but a lack of detailed planning around time constraints can throw a negotiation off course, and delay the ultimate resolution!

Regardless of the situation at hand, your people should always be one of your top concerns. Their emotions matter, and even if it's a situation you are powerless to change, as their leader, you should be their #1 advocate.

Our energy affects our emotions, and our emotions affect our actions, especially in social situations. #softskills #emotionalintelligence #leadership #businessdevelopment
