#045: What Most People Miss In Creating Trust With Their Tribe With Scott Mann
Disclaimer: The Tractionville Podcast and Tractionville Tips are now a part of the System & Soul Podcast. What's System & Soul? We'd love to tell you :) Learn more at systemandsoul.com
"Logic makes people think. Emotion makes people act." The problem is, we often miss the right ways to access emotion in our teams and within our business for the sake of getting it all done. This episode will give you the systematic secret sauce.
In this episode, we bring back our good friend Scott Mann to tell us how he systematically navigates the "human terrain" to connect with reluctant followers on the defensive.
As a retired Lieutenant Colonel Green Beret and founder of Rooftop Leadership, he knows all about the importance of storytelling in leadership. As the meaning-seeking, emotional, social animals that humans are, a narrative is an important tool when it comes to breaking barriers that inhibit healthy, productive communication with anyone.
