Listening for the collective good

AuthorDeb Boelkes DateMonday, July 8, 2013 at 11:57AM

Dr. Carriuolo's second grade teacher made a huge, year-long commitment to her, that shaped her into the highly successful, Heartfelt Leader she is today. While Mrs. Schultz may not have necessarily thought she was teaching "listening skills", Dr. Carriuolo now listens for the collective good, as a result.

How would you rate your own listening skills and what do you typically listen for? Of those people who have most influenced you in your life, how would you rate their listening skills and what do you think they are listening for?
