Listening leadership - The decade of talking is over webinar

Preparing for projects in a Post-Pandemic World webinar series

In a time of global crisis, with unprecedented rate of change and crippling levels of uncertainty, the ability to stop talking and really listen is a critical skill set. However, it is one that few people in leadership roles possess or exercise well.

We recently ended one of the most talkative decades in history and entered another that has started in turmoil. A decade where your listening skills will be key to your success.

Johnny discussed what he has learned about leaders who listen based on his own experience and from 80 million people that have used Mentimeter interactive presentation software.

The webinar presented on Friday 24 April was a mix of study results and hands-on examples of how you can lead in a more listening way.
