Ben Kinney, Chad Hyams, and Bob Stewart discuss the concept of 'trickling' in leadership, exploring how ideas, problems, and energy can move through various directions within personal and professional relationships. The trio delves into strategies for effectively managing conversations in ways that inspire accountability and positivity, rather than inadvertently spreading negativity. Learn about balancing what to share with peers, subordinates, and mentors, ensuring impactful communication. The episode also touches on how actions influence children and employees, fostering intentional interactions that uplift rather than drain energy. ---------- Connect with the hosts: •    Ben Kinney: https://www.BenKinney.com/ •    Bob Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/activebob •    Chad Hyams: https://ChadHyams.com/ •    Book one of our co-hosts for your next event: https://WinMakeGive.com/speakers/   More ways to connect: •    Join our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/winmakegive •     Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://WinMakeGive.com/sign-up •     Explore the Win Make Give Podcast Network: https://WinMakeGive.com/ Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network 00:00 Effective Leadership Through Positive Communication and Accountability 06:00 The Impact of Adult Conversations on Children's Perceptions 08:47 The Impact of Leadership and Energy on Workplace Dynamics 13:18 The Impact of Negative Talk on Workplace Morale 15:25 Trickling Up, Down, and Sideways for Problem Solving and Growth 22:45 Impact of Communication on Relationships and Workplace Dynamics 24:48 The Trickle Effect: Impact and Direction in Daily Interactions
