LISTENING

Do you feel your employee's opinions are being counted?

•  People are sometimes afraid to provide input because the leader has already spoken.
•  You’re more likely to get buy in when you have weigh in.
•  Seek first to understand, then be understood.

Great leaders are able to have conversations around obstacles.

• Our job as effective leaders is to really listen and understand what those obstacles for our employees are.
• Leaders will find work arounds to accommodate everyone even if there is a small budget.
• Leaders that have these kinds of conversations with their teams have less turnover.
