Intent vs. Impact

Intent vs. impact is important to know and keep in mind when you are a leader. This tool can help you implement change smoothly or cause a few bumps in your road. It’s important to understand the impact of your words and actions as a leader. As leaders, we must strive to be inclusive, and being aware of your intent vs. impact will help you do just that. As someone once told me, “you can’t tell someone else how to feel”. With that being said, it’s important to always evaluate the cause and effect of what you say and do because this can be the thin line between what you intended and the positive or negative. impact it had on others.
