Ask people about the best boss they ever had and they rarely describe a great talker. They describe someone who listened.
What real listening looks like
Full attention, no phone. Questions that follow what was said rather than redirect it. Silence after someone finishes, to see if there is more.
Why it works
People commit to decisions they were heard on. They surface problems to leaders who do not punish the messenger.
