When leaders listen, what do they gain?
And then,
Why do some leaders not listen?

This article, “If You Listen Up, Your Employees Will Step Up,” has several points that resonated with me:
- The consequences of alienated, unhappy employees include decreased morale, productivity, and job satisfaction; increased job insecurity, employee turnover, and failure to meet crucial goals.
- Listening to your employees makes them feel valued and increases their sense of ownership in outcomes. BUT—Be prepared to follow up on employee suggestions; not doing so creates disappointment.
- Productivity and employees’ sense of safety and security increase when leadership listens and follows through.
What have you experienced?
As a leader, what enabled you to become a listener?
Thank you.
