Active listening, and transparency are key when building relationships. #mattgillis

As a leader, when you have risky or “off the beaten path” ideas that diverge from the way things are usually done, take time to get buy-in. The more you communicate and listen to stakeholders, acknowledging their feedback, the larger your support base grows.

Active listening, and transparency are key when building relationships and support with your stakeholders. The more you communicate and get feedback, the better your ideas will become as they transition into reality. Always remember that you need to acknowledge the feedback you have been given, even if you can not use it currently. This acknowledgment will encourage stakeholders to continue to contribute and support you, knowing you are listening to them. You are stronger as a group than you will ever be alone.
