2025/08/03

Far too many of us live in fear when it comes to our business lives. For some of us, it’s financial fear. For others, it’s emotional.

It has been said that the eyes are the window into the soul. If true, the ears are the doorway to the heart. It is by our ears we listen to what’s important to someone.We not only hear the words they are using, but hear the tone of voice, inflection, and can distinguish between the emotions expressed and listen for what is hoped for moving forward.

If you are in a leadership position, you have likely read about how to have teams and workers you lead do something they may not want to do. A day doesn't go by that you don’t directly or indirectly persuade someone. You have high hopes for having people follow your lead and act in ways that foster innovation, growth, and passion.

Far too often leaders feel overwhelmed by the everyday demands of their jobs and they in turn disengage from the ideal of workers flourishing and doing their best work.

I would suggest that flourishing is in short supply because of lowered standards. Customers have become accustomed to airlines and railways that regularly delay flights/trains and dismiss passenger frustration; they’ve come to expect banks and other financial institutions to be more concerned with the bank’s financial wellbeing than the customers.

What is the root of apprehension, ambiguity, and uncertainty?At the centre of each word is fear. If I am apprehensive, I am afraid of the unknown. When ambiguity is present I am unsure of what might happen. With uncerainty, I might be afraid about what I should do next.
