The GRRRRRRR of the 'Me Monster' 

In these crazy turbulent times, it’s not easy to communicate information to others.

We can be dealing with complex information ourselves, struggling with new systems or concepts, learning new things. And the people we need to reach with our communication can seem disconnected, disengaged, distracted (and potentially displeased with what’s going on in their world of change and turbulence). Not the most receptive audience!

Comedians know about the challenges of an audience who seems ’tough’. Comedian Brian Regan suggests we avoid being a ‘Me Monster’; you know, making it all about yourself. Check how often you say 'I, me, my, mine, I, me me me me me me me-aarrrrrgghhhhh' - that’s the Me Monster.

Not good: too much about you, needs to be more about them.

So it goes that leaders who are able to 'make sense’ in these tricky times make the information about others, not themselves.

That's leadership right there.
