Language That Leads

Communication Strategies that Inspire and Engage

By: Kasia Wezowski, Marshall Goldsmith - introduction

Narrated by: Jill Blackwood

Inspire and motivate your team using powerful verbal and nonverbal communication strategies.

Today’s leaders need to use effective, empathetic communication to bring out the best in their team members and let each individual shine.

Kasia Wezowski, a leading researcher on body language and communication skills, combines her cutting-edge research with Marshall Goldsmith’s leadership development methodology in this practical and timely resource for leaders. Goldsmith believes that a leader’s job is to bring out the best in each team member and Language That Leads breaks down the ten core qualities of leadership, providing easy-to-follow implementation steps to express, observe, and project these qualities effectively through verbal and nonverbal communication.

In Language That Leads, listeners will learn:

• Why leaders of the future need to be different from leaders of the past.
• How reading micro expressions, or brief flashes of facial expressions, is key to interpreting the honest emotions of others.
• The body language of leadership — What your posture, gestures, and stance say to others, and how to control this.
• Having emotional intelligence, and how to effectively manage others as a facilitator, not a dictator.
• How to use intuitive decision-making by trusting your empathy and making decisions from your gut.
• Using the BLINK technique to interpret someone's true feelings about a situation or idea in under two minutes.
