* People aren’t motivated by my change prescription anymore than I’m motivated by their's. 

That is the biggest communication challenge that nobody talks about. It’s the clutter we create when we overestimate what we have to say and we underestimate how it’s going to affect the other person.  Changing our internal MO - Are we more focused on what we have to say than who we are saying it to? - Are we pushing an agenda rather than personalizing a message - Are we more focused on performance or policy than on the individual person?* Discussion Questions: 1. As you lead change, describe how you release the best in people. 2. Reflect on your communication style. Do you underestimate how it’s going to affect the other person?
