The leader’s secret weapon: Listening

Do you feel like your boss listens to you?

When I give talks to executive education students, I often pose that simple question to the group. Usually, only about one-third of them raise a hand — a grim reminder of how listening is becoming a lost art. We are communicating more over phones and computers, and in the age of social media, the default impulse is becoming “Look at me!” rather than “Tell me about you.” Many conversations seem like serial monologues, with one person talking while the others simply wait for their turn to say what they want to say.

Listening to someone creates engagement! People come away with a sense that what they have to say is important, and more than that, they understand that they are of value. Being present and really listening to what others have to say takes patience and practice, especially if we have listening habits that keep us from hearing and connecting with others.

I honestly feel that the statement made above is very important especially in the technology driven lifestyles we live today. It’s great again to have the technology and the ability to connect with people all over the world via electronic device however with them being present it has also created barriers that we forget we still face like the lack of personality so to say via text message or misinterpretation because it wasn’t said directly. Hope just that paragraph alone helps you better understand the type of person I am and vision I aim to see.
