To communicate better, it may be time to do a re-frame on what it means to really listen to someone. This book introduces six ways to listen: (1) with compassion, (2) to reflect and clarify, (3) to surface assumptions, (4) playing the contrarian, (5) to offer balance, and (6) connecting all the dots. Strong leaders know which listening style is needed when. It pays to know the difference.
