What you say as a leader may not be what is received by the person you are speaking to.

Sometimes, things said with good intentions can have negative consequences.

This is why communication skills and emotional intelligence need to be at the top of every leader’s list.

In this episode, best-selling author and leadership coach Nils Vinje speaks with Melissa Benua, Senior Director of Engineering at mParticle.

Melissa went through a conversation with her boss early in her career that demotivated her despite the fact that what her boss said was intended as a compliment.

There are always two sides to every conversation and if you are a leader who only thinks about your side, you’re going to run into trouble.

Tune in to this episode to find out how Melissa overcame this challenge with her manager and went on to become an amazing leader.
