Take the LeadSample

What you say matters. This is why good leaders learn to control their words. Your words can either build others up or tear them down. This doesn’t just mean the words you say. This means the words you say, type, text, post, or write - every word that you use. 

Good leaders use their words to encourage, thank, congratulate, care, and appreciate others. They don’t lie, manipulate, gossip, yell, put down, make fun of, bully, or tell dirty jokes. 

Think about the words you use. Do your words more often build others up or tear them down? How can you use your words to encourage someone today?
