Practice Explainer - Using the Message Cards
The Manager Birds Message Cards help you find the best communication message for each communication
The Manager Birds Message Cards challenge you to improve the messages you generate as well as help you recognise the messages you are receiving.
They score from +4 (inspiration) to -4 (annoyance) and all steps in between.
The positive (+4 to +1) messages will generally be helpful. The negative messages (-1 to -4) will generally be unhelpful and the neutral messages could go either way.
While the positive, helpful messages are a good target, not every message needs to be inspirational. Learning which positive message to aim for in which situation is part of the journey.
Don't settle for unhelpful messages
While experience might tell us that some communication habits only generate unhelpful messages, this is not actually true and with insight and practice helpful messages, up to and including inspiration, can be within reach for all communication habits.
