Communicating our belief in others’ ability to accomplish something–even if it’s difficult, even if they’ve never done it before–is an essential leadership talent.
Such a vote of confidence awakens their talents, increases their engagement, and causes their performance to soar.
In your corner,
Mike
PS: Part of the trick is not thinking that we are being merely delusional.
