Listening looks to be even more important for Sustainable Leadership. From the article:
Where Charisma Fails The problem of charismatic leaders is, ironically, their strength. When a company is moving in the right direction, the charismatic leader can super-charge progress.

Vision is important, but so is a keen sense of hearing. Leading a company means working with all the employees. Why assume that you're the only one with a good idea or keen insight? Delete the scoop?

Often when managers review and evaluate their team's level of engagement, they treat it like an annual affair. Employees take a survey, discuss the results with their supervisor, and commit to taking some actions. For the most part, the manager and the team deal with engagement in general terms not related to specific, real-time business problems. Delete the scoop?

According to an emerging field of science called NeuroLeadership – a term credited to Dr. David Rock of NeuroLeadership Institute the brain treats “social pain” in the exact same way it responds to physical pain.
