Are You Really Listening? 3 Questions Every Leader Must Ask

Christy’s adjustment to progressive lenses opens a conversation about the lenses we bring to leadership. Our experiences help us make sense of what we see, but they can also shape what we overlook. Tracey brings in the lighthouse, a reminder that a wider point of reference can help when our own view is limited. Christy and Tracey discuss: ● The difference between perception and perspective. ● Why past success should not end the search for better ways of working. ● What can happen when leaders assume staff understood a priority simply because it was stated. ● Why we should ask employees what they need instead of assuming their goals match ours. ● How experience can guide a leader and still leave room for a newer voice. ● Questions leaders can ask to listen better and clarify what matters. A question to take with you: What assumption are you carrying that might need to be challenged? Whose perspective could help you see it more clearly? Join the conversation.
