Unintended Consequences

• A whisper at the top becomes a shout at the bottom.
• As a leader, you want to have the right person for the job and you want to ensure that that person can do the job, however, the more important thing is for you to create a more equitable workplace. 
• Be clear about your intentions. 
• Always be conscious of how your message comes across. 
• Ask for feedback. As a leader, having people who can let you know how things are going is extremely important.
• None of us is perfect. There are times when what we say or do can have unintended consequences. Be wise enough to think about how your message or action comes across. 

Today’s Take-away

• As a leader, how do you minimise the risk of unintended consequences?
• Do you have a feedback mechanism in place? 
• Are you getting the intended consequences of your decisions? If not, what do you need to do?
