"The Nonverbal Advantage: Secrets and Science of Body Language at
Work"
by Carol Kinsey Goman

(page4)
Leadership: The effectiveness of command-and-control management
tactics declined dramatically with the end of the Industrial Age. Today's leaders, whether chief executives or first-line supervisors, must lead through influence rather than rely on the control (or
illusion of control) that a management position implies.

Influence relies on two things:

1- the ability to understand the employee's perspective, which in turn means listening to what's being said and knowing how to read the messages that are being delivered nonverbally; and
2- the ability to communicate congruently, to align the spoken word with body language that supports, instead of sabotages, and intended message.

Ran (And Everyone!),

What are your thoughts on this passage? Would agree with the passage?

The issue I think is still, well past the Industrial Age, bosses are still not paying attention to employees; not seeing things from there perspective; still saying in the mom/dad tone "because i am the boss"; saying that they are listening yet never looking up; and so on.

I could ask numerous questions as a follow-up, but i'll choose one.

What does an employee do who works for a boss like this- the constant command & control approach (other than lumping it)?

I think too often, as i stated in the web discussion, trainings and books talk about how the boss will change and become everyone's favorite just because the employee engaged him/her in a constructive,
positive manner using such tools as, but limited to, summarizing, validating, acknowledging the emotions and feelings, reframing, and using empathy.
I find this quote rather conservative, is the sense that it is still about how I make others execute what I have in mind (either via control or via influence), while the themes I brought in my talk meant to present leadership that
goes beyond that, letting go of assuming that what they have, their knowledge and perception, is what necessarily needs to be executed. It is a shift from influencing to dialoging.
Any thoughts?

Ran,

Good point. However, I still think as a leader, one must ultimately make the choice of what to do and unltimately give out directions and possible orders.

It is being open and mindful to options which I think makes a leader effective compared to the 'my way or else' mentality yet still I think collaborative input does not equate to equal say (nor am I saying you are saying that!).
