Am I actively listening or actively speaking?
Humans love to speak rather than listen. We want to be heard. The love tank will suddenly fill up once we feel understood. This innate human tendency is a reason why many relationships don't last long. People often fail to lend an ear and instead keep talking, talking, talking!
The same principle applies to business. Your team remains loyal because they feel heard. You lead them with care, set clear expectations and directions, maintain a communication loop, trust them, and treat them as humans. When you establish this level of leadership, you'll witness your team serving customers with high standards.
Your valued customers stay because they feel understood. You expand successfully into new markets because your team predicts accurately. Project execution goes well because you and your clients are on the same page. Your team achieves high retention rates, and your acquisition efforts yield new metrics.
Reciprocal engagement fosters stable relationships and drives growth. Isn't it beautiful? Everything happens because you listen to the people you serve.
