Weekly Management and Leadership Tip:

*Know When To Speak*

When my father @obiakoEmmanuel sends a message in our family WhatsApp chats, he typically ends with:

"Speak now."

It is a prompt indicating our turn to acknowledge receipt of his message & add to the conversation.

There are times in your career, relationships, and life when you will need to speak.

You will need to speak when it is time to communicate the vision & mission of your company or organization to your team.

You will need to speak when it is time to ask for an earned raise.

You will need to speak when it is time to resolve a conflict within your team.

You will need to speak when it is time to agree on your core values, marriage vision and marriage goals with your spouse.

You will need to speak when you have crossed a clearly defined boundary with a friend and need to apologize.

You will need to speak when it is time to have uncomfortable conversations that will lead to better communication, connection and healing.

There is definitely a time to be quiet.

There is definitely also a time to & #39;speak now& #39;.
