Stop Ghosting – Here's Why Silence Is Undermining Your Leadership
⚖️ Silence creates confusion, not confidence.
📞 Delayed or ignored responses signal, "You're not a priority," eroding trust.
💼 Avoiding hard conversations weakens relationships with teams, clients, and peers.
❓ Indecision and delaying communication fuels inefficiency, delays, and unnecessary risk.
💪 Lack of response weakens authority and influence.
The cost?
❌ Lost trust and fractured communication.
❌ Damaged relationships and missed opportunities.
❌ Slow decisions and actions... that amplify risk.
❌ Weakened leadership and diminished influence.
Legal expertise alone won't make you a high-performing leader.
🔥 Tip: If you don't have a communication system with rules for emails, phone calls, 1:1 conversation, managing fires in the team, responding to clients, counsel etc...then you won't be leading, you'll be reacting - that's not leadership.
