What Differentiates Effective Leaders from Others?

What Differentiates Effective Leaders from Others?

Clearly words matter. Research shows if you are a leader & if you hope to increase performance, build more effective teams, forge better relationships & gain buy-in some words matter more than others.?Let’s have a look at them:

1."Could"Instead should

"Should" typically limits possibilities, implying a finite set of choices.A Harvard study published in Academy of Management Journal found, using "could" instead of "should" generates a greater number of potential & better solutions.

2."Because"

If you need something, asking politely works. But providing a reason is even more effective. A well-known principle of human behavior says that when we ask someone to do us a favor we will be more successful if we provide a reason. People simply like to have reasons for what they do.

3."Together"

Obviously teams work together. Yet stating the obvious, by using the word "together", can cause people to work harder, longer, and more effectively. A study published in Journal of Experimental Social Psychology found that?people who heard "together": worked almost 50 % longer, solved more problems correctly, found it easier to stick with the task, and said the task was more "interesting," and were more likely to perform that task again, even though they didn't actually work together.
