Eric Pertnoy currently manages his own boutique
product engineering firm in which he employs a few freelancers and consultants.
It is amazing what can be learned from observing his leadership in action when
conducting business meetings or simply having a conversation with his
employees. Eric Pertnoy knows just how to persuade his subordinates and
partners to do what they need to do, think of their own ideas, and be
comfortable enough to share those concepts.
Specifically, Eric Pertnoy always makes eye
contact when speaking to his employees. Eye contact is crucial in gaining a
person’s trust and in your own evaluation of them. For example, if a person is
unable to meet your eyes when talking to them, they are most likely hiding
something or not telling you the truth. Eric Pertnoy can spot these issues a
mile away because of his serious and professional nature. He can persuade his
employees to do what he needs by his eye contact, and he can convey how serious
the issue is as well.
Another way that Eric Pertnoy is a persuasive
business leader is in the way that he always communicates clearly. Whether it
is by email, phone or meeting, Eric Pertnoy’s messages are clear and concise.
Employees, clients or partners never walk away from a conversation with him
wondering what will happen next or what are they responsible for. Clear
communication in all aspects of life is crucial and sometimes taken for
granted. Eric Pertnoy always thinks through what he is going to say before he
speaks, makes sure his electronic communication has the proper tone, and that
he does not let his emotions get the best of him. Between his eye contact and
clarity of communication, Eric Pertnoy ensures his success along with that of
anyone who works with him.
