if you don't listen, you're alone;
if you are alone, you aren't a leader;
if you aren't a leader, you don't leverage;
if you don't leverage you do not have impact!
conclusion: If you talk you do not have impact!"

42. âWhatâs Up?â
âWhatâs going on? What are the facts? Whatâs is
happening?â
This gives the opportunity for your people to give you the facts. Helps
them be aware of the facts. Focus on the facts ďŹrst, without
interpretation so that that we separate facts from judgement. Dig into
the facts with questions to make sure that everything is on the table.
43. âSo What?â
âWhat does that fact means? What is your interpretation?â
Now that we both know the facts, let them give you their interpretation and
try to understand Why they interpreted that way - what is affecting their
judgement?
This gives them the responsibility to interpret whatâs going on instead of being
only the messenger.They (must) have an opinion, so letâs put it on the table.
Make additional questions to make sure you both explore different possibilities
- What other interpretations would you give besides that one? What are you
assuming that affects your judgement? Letâs talk about that and see if I can help
44. âWhat Now?â
âSo, What you want to do about it? What are the next
steps?â
Again, this gives them the responsibility and ownership for the
solution. Make sure you understand their decision process - why are
they taking that decision? - help them to consider alternative solutions
- What other solutions/steps could be an option?
Offer your help - How can I help you?
47. Your Facts, Interpretations and Ideas
are welcomed, of course!
(I know that you are at least as
bright as I am!)
But be aware that...
48. Your voice kills your
peopleâs voice
(youâre the boss, right?!)
so never talk ďŹrst!
49. Your people are also
very bright!
(and the better you are, the more bright
people youâll attract)
Remember:
50. They talk to people
that you do not talk to
Remember:
51. They see things that
you do not see
(from your corner ofďŹce!)
Remember:
52. You have complementary strengths
just do not kill them by doing all the talking

53. If you Talk, you don't Listen;Â
if you don't listen, you're Alone;Â
if you are alone, you aren't a Leader;
if you aren't a leader, you don't Leverage;
if you don't leverage you do not have IMPACT!
conclusion:
If you TALK you do NOT have IMPACT!

3 Whatâs
57. Credits
Most of the concepts in this presentation came to
my mind. They came from the cross-over of
experience, reďŹection, discussions and extensive
reading - too many and scattered to be able to name
them precisely. But, the 3 Whatâs I learned from
Steven Sonsino (stevensonsino.com).
Your more than welcomed to reach me out to
