JBLP Episode 49: How To Be A Leader That Listens

JBLP Episode 49: How To Be A Leader That Listens

May 5, 2025 Posted by John Barrett

Session Summary: Your leadership excellence doesn’t just depend on how well you speak—it depends on how well you listen. While many leaders focus on crafting their message, the real difference between good and great leadership lies in your ability to actively listen. When you practice active listening, you’re fully present. You show genuine curiosity. You engage both verbally and non-verbally with those around you. You demonstrate value for others through your attention, your thoughtful questions, and your meaningful responses. If you want to transform your leadership, start by becoming a leader who listens. It’s not just a skill—it’s a superpower. Enjoy!
