😤 Tired of Repeating Yourself? Why Your Team Still Doesn’t 'Get It'.

😤 Tired of Repeating Yourself? Why Your Team Still Doesn’t 'Get It'.

Let me shoot straight with you.

If your team feels off, if you're not getting the results you want, or if you're feeling like you're dragging people instead of leading them it’s time to stop pointing fingers and start getting honest.

Leadership isn’t just about KPIs, performance reviews, or smashing quarterly goals.

It’s about you.

And how well you know yourself and your people.

There are two pillars every great leader stands on:

👉 Self-Awareness

👉 Connection

Miss one, and the whole thing starts to wobble.

Let Me Break It Down…

I worked with an IT manager who felt completely overlooked.

He said: “No one respects me. My GM doesn’t get me. My team tunes out.”

Sound familiar?

Here’s what we discovered: He was communicating in his own language, not theirs.

He was all logic and process.

His GM? Results and visuals.

His team? All different.

No wonder there were fireworks and not the good kind.

Once he saw the disconnect, everything changed. He shifted his style.

Started listening more.

Showed up differently.

Had the guts to rebuild bridges and called a meeting with his GM.

And you know what? Within weeks, his influence skyrocketed. 🚀

Here’s the Truth:

You can’t lead people you don’t understand.

And you can’t understand them if you don’t understand yourself.

If we connect with people on their level in a learning style that suits them, they feel seen and heard.

And that automatically builds connection. 💡

When you understand their preferred style whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic you unlock the potential for trust, engagement, and impact.

At the Positive Leaders Training Company, our flagship leadership workshop ‘Empowered Leaders’ is built around this exact principle. It starts with self-awareness and the results speak for themselves.

As leaders become aware of the role they play in shaping their team’s energy and performance, something incredible happens:

✔️ They become more influential

✔️ They become more flexible

✔️ And they become better able to inspire, motivate, and influence

Why?

Because they connect better. And when connection is strong, leadership flows.

👣 Ready to Lead Better? Do This:

1. Know Your Style.

Are you big-picture? Data-driven? Relationship-focused? Get clear.

2. Decode Your Team.

How do they tick? Visual learners? Doers? Fast-paced? Detail-oriented?

3. Connect Daily.

One-on-ones. Huddles. Real talk. Make it consistent. Make it human.

So true, Paris Cutler. Sometimes the issue is beyond communication, and it's great to address it head-on.

It's great to see you're acknowledging the root of the problem and not just focusing on surface issues.
