BRX Pro Tip: Take the High Road
Stone Payton : And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, at this point in my career I have quite a few, I’ll call them, operating disciplines, working disciplines, many of them born from your vision and strategic direction. But they’re important all the time. But they’re particularly important when things get a little sticky or hairy or tough. Speak to that a little bit.
Lee Kantor: Yeah, I don’t remember who said it, but it happened on one of the shows that we were doing many years ago, and I don’t know if they invented it, but it always stuck with me. They said, “Take the high road; there’s less traffic.” And that really resonated with me.
Lee Kantor: And two reasons I think why it’s better to take the high road. Number one is this enhances your reputation. When you’re consistently taking the high road, you will positively impact how others perceive you. You’re demonstrating reliability, integrity, and professionalism. So that’s number one reason to take the high road.
Lee Kantor: Number two is it’s going to build positive relationships over time. When you respond to conflict and challenges with grace, you’re showing and demonstrating maturity and empathy, which is going to strengthen the relationships with the people who matter most to you.
Lee Kantor: So those are two examples of why I believe taking the high road is the only road to drive on.
