Business leaders, mastering effective communication with your teams is the key to improved execution and greater engagement. One element that we could all use a reminder on is ACTIVE listening – an often forgotten strategy that helps to build trust, clarify intentions and set the stage for better conversations and outcomes. Even during busy times, don't skip this valuable skill --it's even more needed in rushed situations when we can easily misunderstand and therefore make less than ideal decisions. Many of our mid-market clients ask us to come in (virtually or IRL) to deliver our award-winning training on Active Listening, EQ, and other key management behaviors. You know the stats, leaders... the employee decision to stay or go is influenced MOST by their direct manager. What are you doing to ensure your managers have the skills they need?
