Hammer Nails & Leadership

Hammer Nails & Leadership

In a newly constructed office, there was a Carpentry work that was going on, a young carpenter was nailing some wood with a hammer and he was surprised to see the crack in the wood.

The carpenter said " before we hammer, we should examine the wood, identify the size of the nail and determine the pressure with which we should hammer it"

The young carpenter agreed and corrected his mistake.

Communication is like nailing the wood, As Leaders we should understand our subordinate’s nature, we should choose the right words and we should use the right tone to nail our message.

It is not only the words that hurts, it is also the way it is conveyed.

Power is like a hammer, it can either empower or dis-empower a person

These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
