In the words of Stephen R. Covey, most people don't listen with the intent to understand (http://sco.lt/5uusVt); they listen with the intent to reply. Do you seek to understand or do you seek to be understood? This week, I dedicate the show to the concept of listening and Kevin Watson (http://www.myown-coach.co.uk), an international leadership and culture change coach, shares some wonderful insights on the how to listen holistically, with the curiosity of a child. As you will learn from Kevin: Listening is a way of respecting and adapting our behavior towards others. This is a critical leadership competency (http://sco.lt/8hlCDZ)if we want to be considered a leader.
