4 年As a teacher, I used an activity with my class that involved toothpaste and various tools. The objective was to empty the toothpaste and then put it all back in the tube. The connection: the toothpaste represented our words and the tube our mouth. Some groups were successful in getting the paste back in the tube, and were then told to smell their fingers. No matter how much we attempt to take our words back, they have a lasting impact (both positive and negative). How do you want your fingers to smell? And since you asked...I'd describe my leadership style as supporting.

4 年Love your series, Joshua Miller! ???? Our words are powerful...and which one(s) we choose to embody matter, a LOT...for ourselves and those around us. If you think your words don't matter, or that people don't pay attention, just watch what happens when a leader pauses to give genuine appreciation to one of their team who may be struggling. I would describe my leadership style as empowering. Thank you for sharing this and for the very kind mention! ?????? Your insights are appreciated!?
