What if you’re not nearly as good a listener as you think you are?Most leaders believe they listen well. The problem is that busy schedules, confidence, authority, and the pressure to respond quickly can quietly work against you.You interrupt because you think you already know where someone is going. You multitask because you believe you can still follow the conversation. You filter what you hear through what you already believe.Over time, people adjust. They shorten what they tell you. They stop bringing you difficult information. And you can walk away thinking a conversation went well while the other person leaves feeling unheard.In this episode, I break down the listening habits that get leaders into trouble and share two simple practices that can dramatically improve how people experience conversations with you.In this episode:You’ll learn how interrupting, multitasking, and filtering can undermine your ability to understand what people are really telling you.You’ll discover a simple two-second rule that creates more space, improves understanding, and encourages people to tell you what they might otherwise hold back.You’ll learn how the phrase “What I heard you say is…” can help you confirm understanding, uncover misunderstandings, and become a more thoughtful leader.Press play to learn how a few small changes in the way you listen can help you make better decisions, build stronger relationships, and become the kind of leader people genuinely want to talk to.The Leadership Career Accelerator Build Executive Presence, Influence With Impact & Get PromotedContact Barry at barrymoline@gmail.com The Leadership Career Accelerator podcast is for young professionals, team leads, emerging leaders, new managers, entry-level managers, and first-time managers navigating real-world career challenges.
