People are not moved by logical arguments. [Leadership Theory #005]
This is definitely good.
You should do it.
Why aren't you doing it?
In the past, the more I thought something was good, the harder I tried to explain it.
But, strangely enough, the other person wouldn't move.
Looking back now, I was focused on "conveying" and failed to "understand the other person."
People do not move just because they are told the right thing.
They only move when they feel their feelings are understood, and when they think to themselves, "Maybe I'll give it a try."
That is why, before I tell someone something, I first listen to what they have to say.
What is their current situation?
What are they aiming for?
What are they struggling with?
If I give advice without knowing those things, it just becomes a "logical argument."
A leader's job is not to force answers on others.
It is to think together so that the other person can find the answer for themselves.
I believe that building on that is what leads to trust.
