Hey Leaders! Listening Isn't Easy, But It's Essential

Hey Leaders! Listening Isn't Easy, But It's Essential | Serving and Leadership | Scoop.it

We create our own barriers to active listening, and our performance suffers accordingly.

donhornsby's insight:

(From the article): The failure to truly listen is a big barrier to high performance and performance improvement for most leaders and their teams. It takes deliberate effort to focus, get in the moment and strive to understand before moving to judgment. Starting today, use every encounter as an opportunity to strengthen your focus and understanding. Get this right and you’ll transform your own effectiveness and the effectiveness of those looking to you for leadership.

Running a business, especially in the early days of getting it up and running, can be a tough and lonely endeavour.

 

It is in the nature of many new entrepreneurs, to only listen to their own voice, and to initially not take advantage of the advice of others who have gone before them.

 

This good article, provides tips from 59 small business owners and entrepreneurs, and any entrepreneur should find several that will be very useful to them as they progress on their own journey.
