Why Actions Speak Louder Than Words | Multifamily Collective Welcome back to the Multifamily Collective! Today, we discuss the powerful concept of "actions speak louder than words" and how it impacts leadership. Have you ever wondered why seeing an action carried out is more impactful than just hearing about it? In leadership and management, it's crucial to remember that trust is important, but verification is essential. There's a lot of noise and constant delegation in today's world, and sometimes communication breaks down. Leaders must adopt the "inspect what you expect" philosophy to combat this. This means delegating tasks and verifying their completion to the expected standard. Doing so shows that you care about the outcome and set an example for your team. A great example is Elon Musk, who personally moved a server to prove it could be done faster than his team believed. This hands-on approach demonstrates commitment and sets clear expectations. As leaders, it's essential to randomly check on tasks to ensure they're adequately completed. This isn't about micromanaging but maintaining standards and showing your team you are invested in their success.
