#114 Georgie Rudd | How listening can make you a better and more impactful leader

We are programmed to feel we add value by advising and having all the answers - particularly in a client-facing organisation. How much more value can we give by intentionally listening? Executive leadership coach Georgie Rudd is passionate about helping people find space to gain clarity by experiencing listening. Georgie describes listening as the single most important part of communication, as people have immense wells of resourcefulness and innovation within themselves. "The quality of your attention determines the quality of other people's thinking." (Nancy Kline) Georgie talks about the power of allowing someone to share, and of how easy it is to underestimate the impact your listening can have on someone else.

To increase the impact further, pairing high attention with really brilliant questions provokes deeper thinking and can be very powerful. Georgie explains the impact of listening on team dynamics, strategic development, and business innovation; and shares three things that leaders can do to make a positive difference to their interactions. Listening also plays a significant part in the trust equation of credibility, reliability and intimacy, over self-interest. Listening takes time, but is definitely a skill worth learning and deploying.
