As an introvert, I know when you wait too long to speak, people tend to see it as random or an outburst. Also if you wait way too long it's just hindsight, even if you knew it way before.

I’m in the process of getting promoted at my job but sometimes we have huddles and I feel this nervousness about speaking when they ask if anyone has anything to add! It’s horrible for me at times

I worked with a client who struggled with that. His strategy became to have one question or point of view to contribute before he ever arrived at the meeting. While he was preparing, he would jot down some notes so when there was an opening, he already had something helpful to contribute "in his back pocket," as they say. More preparation ahead of time will give you more helpful contributions in the moment. And, as the meeting is rolling along, you can take additional notes about what you might say or ask when your boss or co-workers ask that question.

I found the video very informative. I am watching and listening about these techniques however "Times are a changing!" How about techniques of where and how to act on a ZOOM call. Table meetings are going to become something of the past. Even job interviews start with a video call. Standing by for expertise!

Hi Paul. It'll be some time before there's any quality published research on that. I typically base what I say on research and go from there. So, it's not likely I'll have much to say about Zoom anytime soon. I personally use it almost every day, though, and some version of it will surely be with us for years to come. At the same time, I believe that once the virus is under control and the vaccine roles out, many people will be eager to meet face to face again. So, I'm guessing we'll see a mixture of video and face to face meetings where some people are calling in and some people are there in person.

Hi, Michael. You can post any questions in the comments section and I'll do my best to answer them. I don't do any 1-2-1 coaching, tutoring, or email Q&A or anything like that anymore. Sorry about that. I just don't have the time anymore.

But come to think of it, who needs leaders? We should learn how to be autonomous. This want for a leader may sound like part of that Old American Dream which has been over for quite some time now.
@alexanderlyon4 жыл бұрын
Interesting point of view. You've got me thinking. First, America is only a couple of hundred years old. We've had leaders since the beginning of history and philosophers and ancient historians even have put forward various theories of leadership for thousands of years. Leadership and leadership studies as an academic area have no unique connection to the USA. Second, in terms of not needing leaders, if you can show me any company, culture, or society that doesn't have leaders, then it would be a first. Even when societies or sub-cultures devolve into a leaderless situation or disorganization for a relatively brief time period with no official leaders, we almost instantly see warlords emerge as leaders who rule by force through a _might-is-right_ approach or we see external leaders conquer those cultures. A company without a leader wouldn't last very long either. They'd go out of business or be taken over. So, yes, leaders will always play a pivotal role--for better or worse--whether we want them or like them or not. Let's just hope and pray that we can each be the types of leaders ourselves of our families, communities, and workplaces need, *_good_* leaders. Third, it doesn't have to be just one individual who functions as THE leader. It could be a leadership team. And, it doesn't have to be a centralized approach to leadership. There are lots of approaches to leadership, which is one of the reasons I have this channel, to help people develop good leadership skills so they can lead their teams effectively. Finally, the only way to be genuinely autonomous is to be almost totally isolated and that's not realistic for most of us since most of us live in a society. I would say that autonomy, independence, and individualism are all more closely aligned with the old American Dream than anything to do with wanting or needing leaders. Anyway, interesting point. Thanks for sharing your view on this.
