Episode 2: The Law of Listening – “The test for listening is learning.”

In today’s fast-paced, high-stakes environments, leaders are expected to drive results while fostering alignment, trust, and engagement. But one of the most underleveraged tools in that effort is also one of the most human: listening.

This episode introduces the second Law of High-Performance Collaboration: Listening. When leaders listen to learn, they create space for contribution and build the credibility and trust that enables teams to perform at their best. In the episode we discuss:

  • The difference between listening to learn and listening to respond or defend
  • Why leaders who listen well cultivate trust and psychological safety
  • Why learning from others is a powerful act of leadership

 

For any leader navigating complexity, change, or growth, this conversation offers practical insight into how a commitment to listening transforms not just communication, but culture.
