Here are six ways to get them on board as quickly as possible:
1. Think, then talk
“Impulsive comments, from off-color jokes to cynical asides, can sting.”
2. Withhold your brilliance
“Don’t rush to respond. Instead, probe to determine what others think — and what issues or ideas matter most to them.”
3. Spread yourself thin
‘Attend as many employee gatherings as possible, even if you say very little while you’re there.”
4. Reply to nearly every message
“When a customer, vendor or other stakeholder writes you, write back.”
5. Seek out wise owls
“Launching a charm offensive with longtime employees can strengthen your leadership.”
6. Develop a thick skin
“Leaders face constant insults and take heaps of blame for things they cannot control. That’s part of the job.”
