Break the Telling Habit® to Transform Your Leadership Impact: Katie Anderson Keynote Speaker

What’s the number one habit that gets in the way of effective leadership? Telling instead of asking. When leaders default to giving answers, you unintentionally limit your team’s thinking and ownership. Discovering how to Break the Telling Habit® is essential to developing people, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and achieving better results.

Have you ever had a team member look at you with frustration when you share your great ideas and suggestions with them?

Or, have you ever felt like—with all the things you need to solve and do—you don’t have time to ask questions? Like you’re stuck putting out fires rather than nurturing, growing, and developing the people you lead?

If this resonates, it’s likely you have a “telling habit”.

Breaking the Telling Habit is THE most powerful shift you can make as a leader, coach, or human being.

Throughout my life and career, I’ve struggled with a “telling habit” – though at times I didn’t even realize how strong it was or the negative impact it had.

Like most of us, I was rewarded for having the right answer in school. I was a high achiever and loved solving big important problems.

Early in my career, I developed deep expertise as an independent contributor and I was good at it.

However, I realized when I moved into consulting, operational excellence, and management roles that my purpose wasn’t only about me solving problems – it was about coaching and developing others.

What I didn’t fully realize until later was that my habits that had led to my earlier career success were actually getting in the way of the impact that I wanted to have to develop others to create sustainable change.

I was shocked to realize that I really did have a telling habit.

And I bet that your telling habit is getting in your way too.
