Yet, so often, managers waste this valuable information gathering time by telling their own story, instead of listening to others and really hearing.

Listening closely is valuable because:-

• You show real interest in the other person, thus building strong, trusting relationships.

• You get great information, which can help you gather the ‘intelligence’ you need to the best decisions.

• Your people will tell you much more, once they realise that you take notice of what they are saying.

• It enables you to take up other’s ideas and thoughts which will add to whatever skills and capabilities you have.

• Involving others closely not only creates better outcomes, but it also takes some of the burden from the top of the management tree.

• Your listening to one, encourages others to talk to you as the word gets
