Leadership Translation

Working in different countries can be challenging, especially when it involves communicating. Without a good translator we struggle to know if everyone understands the message.

How is our leadership translated into the lives of others. Even when we speak the same language, there can be confusion translating leadership.

Does our message sound foreign to those we communicate with at work?

Is the intent of the message misunderstood because of how our leadership is translated?

Do we translate proper goals through the proper channels to the proper people?

Let us make sure we translate our leadership in ways that will help others reach the goal.

Understanding

Most people relate to a time when they were misunderstood.

Employees were misunderstood by their employers.
Students were misunderstood by their teachers.
Citizens were misunderstood by governing authorities.

You get the point.

Developing the ability to communicate so others understand is the necessity of leadership. Jesus asked on several occasions, “Do you understand?”

Being understood is directly connected to understanding others.

Instead of wondering why we are misunderstood, we must work harder at understanding others while leading them in the right direction.
