Short excerpt from a YouTube video titled “Control The Narrative” by Chris Collins (uploaded by the creator). In this clip Collins gives leadership advice: leaders must "control the narrative" and mindset when things are slow, set team momentum, maximize every opportunity (e.g., get on the phones, call contacts), and avoid allowing negativity to become the accepted team norm.
A lot of times. Who's the most negative person in the department when things are slow? The manager. Yeah. Speed of the leader, Speed of the team. You have to control the narrative. You have to understand that the opportunity of a lifetime comes once a day. If you're willing to just give up and talk about the negativity, then everybody else is going to accept that as being okay. So you got to be the one talking about average per, maximizing every opportunity, getting on the phones, calling people that you know or do. You got to control the narrative. You got to control the momentum, the thoughts, the beliefs, all that.
