But by listening well, you can engage employees, promote the discovery of ideas, and clarify your own thinking. In this book, you'll learn from the latest research what prevents you from hearing others, when to focus on your inner voice, and how to converse more effectively, so you better understand your counterpart's emotions and point of view. How to be human at work. HBR's Emotional Intelligence Series features smart, essential reading on the human side of professional life from the pages of Harvard Business Review. Each book in the series offers proven research showing how our emotions impact our work lives, practical advice for managing difficult people and situations, and inspiring essays on what it means to tend to our emotional well-being at work. Uplifting and practical, these books describe the social skills that are critical for ambitious professionals to master."--Book Synopsis
Become a mindful listener at work.
Listening is a critical skill that leaders and managers often take for granted. By learning to listen mindfully, you can keep your employees more engaged, foster the discovery of new ideas, and hear what you need to hear in a discussion rather than what you expect to hear.
The book will teach you what great listeners do, how to stay fully present in challenging conversations, and how empathic listening can help others learn and grow.
This volume includes the work of:
- Peter Bregman
- Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman
