If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. We try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We encourage comments, critiques, and questions. We expect our community to be a safe space for respectful, constructive, and thought-provoking discussion. We reserve the right to remove or turn off comments at our discretion. We do not tolerate bullying, name-calling, or abusive language related to identity, including race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, age, or region; spam; copyright violation; extreme profanity; or p*rnography.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T12:22:10.972032+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387"},"episode":{"title":"To Sound Like a Leader, Think About What You Say, and How and When you Say It","slug":"to-sound-like-a-leader-think-about-what-you-say-and-how-and-when-you-say-it","published_at":"2026-07-20T13:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387/to-sound-like-a-leader-think-about-what-you-say-and-how-and-when-you-say-it","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/VG6519978637.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/VG6519978637.mp3","summary":"To Sound Like a Leader, Think About What You Say, and How and When you Say It 23 May 2022 --- The “executive voice” is less about performance and more about strategic instincts and being aware of the signals you send in daily interactions and communications. 00:00 Developing an \"executive voice\" can be the difference between success and failure. 00:48 Tip 1: Understand the context. 01:35 Tip 2: Be a visionary. 01:58 Tip 3: Cultivate strategic relationships. 02:27 Tip 4: Bring solutions, not just problems. 02:51 Tip 5: Stay calm in the pressure cooker.
