THE PEP TALK TEST – MentalNotes

Every pep-talk you give will be judged by your audience.

They'll judge your compassion, direction and logic.

Research from Gallup has identified 4 reasons why people follow leaders - "trust", "compassion", "stability" and "hope".

Pep-talks are very visible and memorable examples of your leadership.

The way people judge your pep-talk is the same way they judge your worthiness as a leader.

Why people follow leaders	How people judge pep-talks
They trust you (trust)	Do they care about me?
You care about them (compassion)	Do they get what I'm going through?
You're consistent (stability)	Have they been there for me?
You promote optimism (hope)	Did they give me a good reason to act?
