Why Real Leaders Share More To Build Connection at Work #shorts

Disclosing, of course, is an exemplar of positive communication. But its primary function, when it's done well, when it's done authentically and genuinely, has the ability to deepen the relationships that we have with other people. My friend Alex, who is co author of my last book, Positive Communication for Leaders, when we do presentations together, he always says he's kind of a magician by training. So he always says disclosing is the magic wand of communication. And it really is, because if you share a little bit about yourself with others, then it's one of the few behaviors that often gets reciprocated. Right. I tell you a little bit about me, and you tell me a little bit about you, and there goes the magic. You and I are connecting on a little bit of a deeper level.
