SELF-LEADERSHIP & SOFT SKILLS – LISTENING
In episode 249, David talks about the SOFT SKILL of LISTENING.
LISTENING is defined as “to pay attention to sound” or “to hear something with thoughtful attention: give consideration” or “to be alert to catch an expected sound”.
LISTENING is also, the greatest tool in the Soft Skills arsenal. Without it none of all the other soft skills would never get off the ground. Without having the ability to listen why bother becoming a leader. Seriously, if your plan is to put in just enough to get you by, there is truly no point in thinking you have it in you to lead others.
LISTENING is the foundation of any leadership development or leadership growth process. Thus, Listening is the foundation of the Walking Leader. It is all about getting out there, getting to know those you lead, and to connect with them because you are listening and paying attention.
In this episode of the Walking Leader Podcast, I expand and expound on why LISTENING is important, how not to fall into its many traps, and of course, encourage you to go farther and further with your listening skills.
Along the way, don’t forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!
And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.
