The Best Leaders Know How to Really Listen
In
a world of instantaneous global connection, one of the most authentic
modes of communication still is just listening to someone. But listening
can be a challenging skill to master. How can you build your ability?
Start by creating space in your day. Block off time in your calendar to
reflect on a recent conversation and to prepare for the next one. When a
colleague or employee asks for advice, make sure you understand the
situation. Before answering, ask a question. Clarify what they really
need. And give people your full attention. Look them in the eye. Put
down your phone and close your laptop. Leaders who make time for
uninterrupted face-to-face conversation find that it’s one of their best
management tools.
