Description

Welcome to the Manager Lab, where we delve into the increasingly dynamic world of talent management. In this episode, we explore the art, science, and strategy behind effective leadership communication. Taking inspiration from Ronald Reagan's renowned communication style, we uncover how leaders can exert power through words and presence.


The discussion centers around Chris Lipp's article from Harvard Business Review, highlighting five techniques that elevate speaking power, the first two being "Focus on Action" and "Think Big." Listeners gain insights into how abstract thinking and action-oriented communication can enhance managerial effectiveness, secure resources, and boost team morale.
