A good listener listens slowly to what is being said. He does not jump ahead nor does he rush to judge nor does he sit there formulating his own reply. He focuses directly on what is being said. He listens to more than is being said. He extracts the maximum information from what he hears by looking between the words used and wondering why … | Edward de Bono Continue reading A Good Listener Listens Slowly to What Is Being Said Edward de Bono

When people talk listen completely. Don’t be thinking what you’re going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe. You should be able to go into a room and when you come out know everything that you saw there and not only that. If that room gave you any feeling you should know exactly what it was that gave you that feeling. Try that for practice. | Ernest Hemingway Continue reading When People Talk Listen Completely Ernest Hemingway
And so we need to start talking and listening. And when you talk it doesn’t mean you’re right. It doesn’t mean you’re correct. Right? It means you’re trying to articulate and formulate your thoughts like the boneheaded moron that you are. And you are going to stumble around idiotically because what the hell do you know. You are full of biases, and … | Jordan Peterson Continue reading We Need to Start Talking and Listening Jordan Peterson

The true leader in a group is rarely the person who talks the most. It’s usually the person who listens best. Listening is more than hearing what’s said. It’s noticing and surfacing what isn’t said. Inviting dissenting views and amplifying quiet voices are acts of leadership. | Adam Grant Continue reading The True Leader in a Group Is Rarely the Person Who Talks the Most Adam Grant

The Great Unheard at Work by Mark Cole and John Higgins makes the case that silence always has something to say – it’s never neutral and speaks volumes if people are willing to hear. Our response to silence is often to dismiss or end it, to block it out with noise. Instead, silence needs to Continue reading The Great Unheard at Work: Understanding Voice and Silence in Organisations Mark Cole and John Higgins (2023)

Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us. Sometimes after a meeting I want to arrange another one because new ideas are born and I discover new needs. This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The … | Pope Francis Continue reading Proselytism Is Solemn Nonsense Pope Francis
Conversational leadership replaces the simplicity of monologue with the unpredictable vitality of dialogue. Conversation is open and fluid rather than closed and directive. To make it work, leaders need to cultivate the art of listening to people at all levels, and speaking with them directly and authentically. | Boris Groysberg and Michael Slind Continue reading Conversational Leadership Replaces Monologue with Dialogue Boris Groysberg and Michael Slind, 2012
I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them. The greatest gift I can give is to see, hear, understand and to touch another person. When this is done I feel contact has been made. | Virginia Satir Continue reading Being Seen, Heard, Understood and Touched Virginia Satir

Listening to others’ verbalized experiences stimulates memories, ideas, and experiences in participants. This is also known as the group effect where group members engage in “a kind of ‘chaining’ or ‘cascading’ effect; talk links to, or tumbles out of, the topics and expressions preceding it” | Thomas R. Lindlof and Bryan C. Taylor Continue reading Listening to Others’ Experiences Stimulates Memories and Ideas Thomas Lindlof and Bryan Taylor
We assume that when people ask for advice, they want answers. Often they just want to be heard. Advice closes conversation, imposes judgement, and replaces their thinking with ours. Listening keeps the inquiry alive. Resist the urge to advise, create space for reflection, understanding, and better self-directed action instead. Don’t Give AdviceEspecially when it is soughtDon’t give advice: … Continue reading Don’t Give Advice, Listen Instead Change Insight
