33: Communication That Builds Leadership Credibility

33: Communication That Builds Leadership Credibility

In this episode of the Master Communicator, host David Tyler discusses the crucial communication strategies for new leaders in their first 90 days. Emphasizing the importance of building trust and credibility, Tyler provides practical advice on how to listen, ask questions, and show humility. Key points include the significance of early-stage observation, relationship-building through curiosity, and the impact of verbal and nonverbal communication. Tyler advises against rushing into decisive actions, recommending a phased approach: being present in the initial weeks, building trust in the following period, and finally, sharing a co-created vision. He concludes by highlighting the need for consistency and genuine connection to establish effective leadership.
