Secret #20

The Most Important Organ of Leadership Is Your Mouth

This principle may seem counterintuitive or hyperbolic, but I assure you it is not. You might have thought the brain was the most important organ for leadership. The brain is obviously very important to everything we do, but the mouth is the organ with which we communicate with others.

As in all professions, some doctors make more than others. Some doctors make a fortune, while others barely make a living. It may surprise you that some doctors struggle financially, as the medical field is generally thought to be a very lucrative profession. And, over all, it is . . . but not for everyone. What’s the difference between those doctors who earn well and those who are barely eking out a living? Is it that the poor doctor went to a bad medical school and the rich doctor a good one? I can assure you this has no bearing on the matter. I will bet you the farm that you cannot name the medical school your favorite doctor went to. It is also unlikely that you know what percentile or rank he was in his graduating class. You probably don’t know much about your doctor’s professional history at all other than that he went to medical school!

So how did you pick that doctor? If you’re like most of us, you found your doctor by word of mouth, either from friends or from reading reviews. Either way, you chose him because his other patients spoke well of him. That’s the only reason you started seeing him. And why did these people like and recommend him? Probably for the same reason you do: because of the way he communicates with patients. He probably has excellent bedside manners and knows how to comfort patients, and not only using medicine, but with his words and general countenance. Doctor’s hands are very important tools in their work, but the gift of speaking and communicating well will make all of the difference when it comes to running a good practice that makes money and best serves patients.

For doctors and all business professionals, good communication skills are what make the difference between earning a lot of money and a little money. Speech is God’s great gift to us. It’s a unique gift that God gave to humans. Obviously, he didn’t give it to animals. Animals can communicate to some small degree, but not with words. Human beings are able to communicate ideas with words, which allows for nuance, detail, abstraction, and specificity. We are not born as good communicators, though. We have to learn how to communicate effectively.

This is one of the most important secrets I could reveal to you: the importance of learning to communicate effectively. It doesn’t matter how you make your living. However you serve other people, you will do so better by speaking more effectively. It doesn’t matter if you’re a bus driver or a salesperson. Whether you are a waiter, plumber, bookkeeper, landscaper, veterinarian,
