The reality is most people are below-average listeners, and it's keeping them and their team members from reaching their potential. In Listen Well, Lead Better, Steve and Becky Harling share 10 practices that will help you be a more effective listener and leader. Learn how to ask better questions, make people feel heard and valued, and create an open and positive culture. Strong listeners also enjoy greater credibility, navigate conflicts better, and foster more engaged teams. Above all, the lessons here will help you hear from God more clearly and gain his wisdom on all matters in life. Becoming a better listener will transform how you lead and relate to everyone. The missing ingredient to greater influence -- Become self-aware, not self-obsessed -- Know your people -- Give the gifts of trust and empowerment -- Discern hidden values -- Invite others to help shape vision -- Engage conflict constructively -- Look for truth in criticism -- Listen and collect stories -- Create sacred space to reflect and listen to God.
