S2 Tips: Are you a good listener?

So, you think you’re a good driver, huh? Well, research shows more people are not as good as they think they are. Same thing goes for listening skills. Turns out that nodding your head, interjecting the occasional “Ah hah,” refraining from interrupting, and regurgitating words don’t cut it for good listening skills. In today’s System & Soul tip, Chris White discusses the qualities of a good listener, according to new research. Why is this important for you as a business leader? If you can’t listen, you can’t lead. Without good listening skills, how will you know core issues within your business? How will you gain insight into solutions? How will you foster a team that confides in you and feels heard? How will you build trust? A lot is riding on your listening skills.
