Listen Later

If there’s one thing that a lot of leaders struggle with, it’s actively listening to their team members, clients, and partners. They listen to respond and to offer solutions straightaway instead of providing a safe space where people can speak up, be heard, and be empowered to bring more to the table. 

Listening for understanding is the best way to create an environment where everyone thrives. It shows people that they are respected enough to be heard and have valuable insights that can help the entire team succeed.

Join Chuck in this episode and find out how to build stronger relationships and create a thriving environment through leadership listening.
