4 Ways to Become Better Listener as a Leader

Join Jason for a solo episode on the power of active listening in leadership. He shares four practical tips to help leaders build trust, improve communication, and foster connections with their people.

Jason explores why active listening is often overlooked in leadership and how it impacts team dynamics and workplace culture. He dives into the common barriers that get in the way of truly listening and what leaders can do to overcome them.

Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:

๐Ÿ‘‰ The necessity of removing distractions to offer your team the focused attention they deserve.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The art of noticing the whole person youโ€™re speaking to, because listening is as much about seeing as it is about hearing.

๐Ÿ‘‰ How taking notes can serve as a tool to stay engaged and ensure you retain critical information from your conversations.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The impact of asking clarifying questions to prevent misunderstandings and ensure you accurately comprehend your teamโ€™s perspectives.
