A whole bunch of things came together for me over the past few weeks. One of them was seeing how things went “sideways” for people because, in my opinion, they didn’t check-in with themselves and ask the question below before launching into a conversation unrelated to the one they just had!
How we copy, conform and influence each other...
We are built to see, watch and emulate other people. We are pack animals and like to be with others. In fact, being with others is a big part of the makeup of our good health and wellbeing.
When we lead people, being aware that there is a large chance our team will copy our behaviour in some way, means we have a responsibility to lead with integrity and in a way that brings out everyone’s best self.
