Are you working at a company or law firm where executive coaches help develop transformational leaders who inspire change? Does your company or law firm provide executive training and leadership development for your leadership talent?

One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is “Do I inspire people to want to change and solve important problems in innovative ways?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide executive training and leadership development for decision-making leaders at all levels of the organization.

“Human communication has its own set of very unusual and counterintuitive rules.” -Malcolm Gladwell

What does it take to deliver bold new ideas to people who don’t want to hear them? How does the language you use facilitate an enthusiastic and energetic implementation?

Effective language involves more than short-term motivation and inspiration. It must be transformative.

Transformational Leaders:

o Generate lasting enthusiasm for a common cause

o Present innovative solutions to solve significant problems

o Catalyze changes in people’s values ​​and ideologies

o Demonstrate willingness to sacrifice personal interests for the common good

o Help others overcome moments of crisis

o Inspire people to want to change, creating a positive energy that sustains the change

o Generate followers who will ultimately become leaders

The what of transformational leadership is reasonably clear. It is the shape that is usually dark.

How exactly do leaders communicate complex ideas and encourage others to act with lasting enthusiasm? What words do you use to inspire others to become new leaders? Why are some leaders able to pull off the feat while others fail miserably?

Stephen Denning, a senior scholar at the University of Maryland Burns Leadership Academy, makes a case for transformative communications in his book The Secret Language of Leadership (Jossey-Bass, 2007). He provides real stories of how successful leaders communicate to motivate people to action.

More than anything, it’s what leaders say, and how they say it, that generates sustained energy and exponential results.

Working with an experienced executive coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating leadership assessments like the Bar-On EQ-i and CPI 260 can help you become a transformational leader. He can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to fully commit to the vision and mission of his company or law firm.
