When people don't feel safe talking to you it doesn't matter if you have a open door policy as a leader, manager, commanding officer, boss, principal,partner , spouse or parent.
When people can't trust you to listen without damaging them emotionally or physically they will seriously limit their communication w/ you.
Meetings, day, anniversaries , and gatherings will go by without them saying what they truly feel because they fear you much more than they respect you.
Teachers and principals , children and parents , spouses , employees and bosses , student and teacher relationships can all be affected by fear.
Teaching our youth how to effectively communicate is key to their growth.
We seriously limit the creativity someone contributes, natural passion people have, and love some gives when they are afraid to communicate.
How have you seen fear affect the relationships around you ?
Do you have a youth group that could benefit from a workshop on effective communication ?
Do you have an experience you would like to share about fear and communication ?
