Alright. Why are they not listening to you? Why are they not following you?
You're probably missing some really important steps. Watch closely as you
learned how as a leader to inspire others.
You know as a leader, you know you have a group of people or maybe it's even your
family or maybe it's at work. You got this opportunity to be able to literally
inspire people to take action. But for some reason they're not taking action.
You know what's missing? Was it the way that you said it? Was it the way that you
explained it? But you're wondering, how do I do this so that I can actually inspire
all these people to get in on what it is that you're talking about? You know my
mind goes to those parents who try to get their kids motivated to help at the
house or that business owner who's trying to get their team to support the
company goal. Why is it that some people are able to inspire others and why some
don't? Like what's missing? What are the components that are missing? Well, if
you're wondering what it is that you're missing, I bet you'd some one of these
5 different suggestions here I have for you. Over the years of holding events
and speaking at seminars and workshops and being able to have the chance to
inspire people to take action, I've had a lot of experience doing this over 5,500
presentations. I've been in front of audiences that didn't take action and
I've been in front of audiences that took massive action. And I figured out
what works and what doesn't work. So here's 5 suggestions for you of
what to do to be able to reach in and inspire those individuals. Now, the first
is to be able to actually explain the opportunity, the problem or the challenge.
You know sometimes we think inspiring people to take action means telling them
what to do. But if people don't know the opportunity the problem or the challenge,
if they don't know what that is, then they don't see a reason to even get up
and get moving to be part of it. Now, being able to describe the problem or
the challenge or the opportunity, it takes gathering the information, telling
the story and expressing all the components of the story.
And even though you might be in a situation where you're talking about
the problem, it doesn't mean that you're a doomsday person by only you know,
bringing up the problem that you're sharing. Many people when they can see
that you can explain the opportunity, the problem or the challenge, when they see
that you can explain it in detail, they find interest and listening to you. It's
not all about just the steps to take but they want to know that you as a leader
actually can see the whole big picture about what it is that they would be
taking action towards. The second part is for you to be able to explain your
solution or the idea. Now, it seems like that's where you should start, you know,
talking about the idea of the solution. But that's not where you start and
that's where a lot of people make their mistake is, they start with number 2
and they don't even address number 1. Once you describe the problem and the
opportunity, then you pose your ideas, then you pose what ought to be done. Now
the people are going to ask themselves the question. Well, why should we take action
on this? And this is where you get to be super passionate. This is where literally
the purpose, the passion and the vision really comes out. And for you to be able
to answer the question that's in their mind why. And then you ask answer the
question, "Why now?' It's the question that's going to happen inside of their
mind. It's very natural. When you begin to express at the very beginning what
you're talking about, they're going to wonder, "Okay, what is this that we're
going to we're working on? And what is your big idea? And why should we work on it?
And why should we work on it right now?" So, knowing psychologically what the
questions are that are going on inside the people's minds, you can answer those
in the order that they're coming up inside of their thought process. Children
do the exact same thing. "But mom, why do I have to clean my room? And why do I have
to do it now?" So instead of waiting for them to pose the questions that are
written here, you already know that's the form of conversation you're going to have.
But if you could pre think this out of why and
why now, you can actually beat them to the question in their mind and that is a
true leader. When you're literally answering the questions just as the
questions are coming up inside of them. The next step that they're going to want to
know is, "Well, where do we start?" Once you give them the why and the why now and
now they're convinced or enrolled into taking action, they got one last step
that they're not knowing what it takes. And that's the first step. A
mistake I see that leaders make is they lay out the 20 step process. There's like
there's all these steps and over the next 2 years this is what we're going
to do. People can't think that far. They don't think that far. What they're really
wanting to know in great detail is what is the very first step we got to take.
And if people can clearly see and clearly understand that first step, well
now they're in. But if you go too far in the number of steps or too complicated
in the steps, you'll lose them right here at the end. And so remember at the very
end, when it's time to announce that first step to your children, your team
the people at the office. That you break that steps down into very, very, simple,
simple instructions. And you might be thinking, "Well, that's too simple I need
to make a more adult or more professional." Now you'll lose people. You
will lose them. And if you want more people enrolled and more people on your
team to take action, you get to learn how to teach and lead in simple steps. The
more simple it is, the more number... The higher number of people will be able to
take action on it. And you know probably what's really frustrating is when half
of the team gets it and half of the team doesn't. And you've wondered as a leader,
"What did I do wrong? How come they're not listening?" Well when
you have half the team in and half the team not, it's because of the way you
described the first step or the way that you described the why or
the why now. You lost them somewhere. So as you go to explain in these 5 steps to
your team and you go... Or the group of people you're working with to inspire,
remember that this more simple it is, the more memorable it is. Simple is memorable.
Simple is memorable. And if it's complexed, it's confusing. Complex can be
confusing but simple is memorable. Because once they start to take action,
and they go to take this first action step, as they're taking action, they're
going to bring the question up in their mind, "Why are we doing this now?" And
they'll be able to refer back to, "Oh, yeah. I remember why we're doing this now." "And
what was the reason why we're doing this? And what is this going to solve and what
problem are we solving?" So, a great leader knows that to tell the story in this
order, when your team starts to take action, they actually begin to
reverse-engineer it in their mind. And if they have the answers of each one of
these inside their mind, because that's the way you explained it, they'll stay
motivated. But if you don't have those answers and they start to take steps and
they wondering why are they doing it now and they can't remember, then they slow
down or they quit. And if they don't remember it all why they're doing this,
then they start to do literally other things. And they're not taking action on
what you're hoping to inspire them to take action on. But it's great to know
the way the mind works. And how to speak to your team so you can inspire them to
take action. Here are 3 key elements, what we like to do is train and teach
you and everyone else how to communicate better so that we can have those
projects finished and have progress move forward. Because when we're there's
progress and goals are reached, everybody's happy. And when there's great
communication, everybody enjoys the process. But when there's bad
communication or miscommunication then it's just a frustrating experience all
along the way. So don't miss out on our next video that's going to be coming to
you. Subscribe to our channel here so that
you can receive additional training on the important parts of life because. Just
like your business, your team and your family. It all matters. I think it's time
