Action for Traction: Active Listening Leadership Skills
Listening to a podcast or reading a book is a good start. But the way you will change and grow yourself is to take a small action every time you have an aha from what you have heard or read.
Here are three possible actions you might consider:
- Listen to someone without thinking about your next task or what you will say. Give your full attention to them
- Ask questions that give you more information about the situation.
- Check for understanding throughout the conversations. Use sentences like:
- “Let me make sure I understand….”
- “What I think you are saying is…”
- “It sounds like you are frustrated by…”
- If your understanding is not quite in line with what the person is trying to tell you, give them a chance to restate themselves.
