This word can make you sound self-centered and undermine your authority.
There are particular cases when you want to avoid the word “I.” While you may think the use of the word “I” emphasizes your power, it can undermine your authority. This is the case with phrases like “I think” or “I believe.” Whatever you say is what you think. Whatever words come out of your mouth is what you believe. You don’t need to say to people “I believe.”
People believe in those who have confidence in their beliefs, and phrases like “I think” can suggest a lack in confidence. Those who are self-assured do not call attention to the fact that what they are saying is what they think. They just say it, without any preface. The next time you express what you think or believe, try not to preface it with “I believe.” Start off with your thought or belief.
Leaders seldomly use the word “I.” They recognize that their role exists to guide others. Leaders also know that they must act and speak in a way that makes people believe in their guidance. When you are a leader, be smart with the word “I.”
