The power of silence

Why do some of us feel uncomfortable with silence?

As a leader, the most valuable thing you can do is to hold the space of silence.

When others ask you a question do you blurt out the first thing that comes to mind or do you hold a space of silence before responding?

Next time someone asks you a question, hold the power of silence to:

  • give and show respect to the question

  • give more weight to your answer

As a leader, more valuable than the quality of your answers, is the power of your questions.
