Your voice is a choice. “Communication is a leader’s most important skill. It’s at the heart of our ability to influence and engage others. The words we choose (and the tone behind them) determine how well we manage relationships and attract and retain talent. Word choices impact how quickly and efficiently we, and our teams, execute on goals. Our words affect how people feel, and how they feel drives how they act. Ultimately, our words shape our culture.
