The voice of God
Posted 22/11/2006 by legalweekblogs.com SU
It is widely accepted of leadership that what you say is often less important than how you say it – a view evidently subscribed to at the London arm of Weil Gotshal & Manges. The Diary can now exclusively reveal that envelope-pushing City head Mike Francies has signed up for the latest innovation in motivational machinery – voice analysis training (VAT, if you will).
Francies, whom The Diary understands has also subjected himself to various psychometric managerial tests in the past, has recorded a series of speech samples in the hope of identifying just what effect his tone of voice has on the morale of clients and staff.
Suggestions that the scheme is simply a ruse for Francies to spend extra hours listening to the sound of his own voice are surely well wide of the mark.
Francies: voice of reason
