Are You Overlooking the Most Important Factor in Productivity?Have you ever noticed that when things aren’t running smoothly at work, it often comes down to the same core issue? I see it time and time again in my work with clients, and last week was no exception. So, let me ask you: What really drives productivity? What’s the “secret sauce” of good leadership? |
|
Here’s the answer: Relationships and Communication. Think about it—companies and teams are made up of interpersonal relationships. If those relationships aren’t strong, communication suffers. And when communication suffers, creativity, efficiency, and productivity grind to a halt. Mixed messages, confusion, and employees feeling unheard or undervalued all lead to disengagement and decreased performance. The antidote? Emotional Intelligence (EQ), specifically the skill of interpersonal relationships. Strong leaders don’t just focus on the external—they also turn inward, building self-awareness, confidence, and emotional self-regulation. So today, I challenge you to do a communication and relationship audit. Ask yourself: Great leadership isn’t just about what you say—it’s about how you say it and how well you connect with others. Ready to improve? There’s an exercise in my book that walks you through a relationship audit—helping you pinpoint where you shine and where there’s room to grow. Let’s build stronger relationships and better communication—because when those two thrive, so does everything else. Best Wishes, Roberta Moore EQ-i Coach Founder |
