The Employment Experience - an employment law educational tool for business owners and Human Resources professionals

Check out my Free Legal Workshop: Employment Law for Businesses - (Sign up HERE). Did you know the word “listen” contains the exact same letters as the word “silent?” Are you truly silent when listening, and if not, how does this affect your ability to lead others in the workplace?

This week on the podcast, I had a fun and informative conversation with Miriam Meima of 2M Leaders about Stephen Covey’s Five Levels of Listening, as applied to the workplace. Miriam tells us that most people are at a level three of listening (at best), but we should strive to be at a level five.

In this episode we discuss the following:

[4:39] What communications you are missing when you aren’t fully listening

[4:55]: How to avoid unnecessarily escalating issues to HR through active listening

[10:38] How people “trip” into ignoring someone at work

[13:14] How to know if you are a “pretend” listener and how this effects other’s perception of you as a leader

[18:52]: How to know if you’ve reached “true listening”
