Abstract

As we become more and more comfortable in our positions as leaders and managers, we create expanding domains of expertise. The creation of these knowledge bases is a productive yet stressful process that results in a sense of comfort and stability in our positions. These benefits grow out of a sense of confidence that we have achieved a number of important milestones. Yet with stability comes the risk that we may slip into stasis. New leaders can be aware of related risks as they build their own sense of achievement while established leaders can take stock and see where they can improve their own listening skills, which are often the first to slip as we enjoy the perks of experience. Deep listening is reviewed as a growth habit that can help to sharpen our leadership skills.

摘要

随着我们在领导者和管理者的职位上变得越来越自在，我们创造了不断扩大的专业领域。这些知识库的创建是一个富有成效但压力很大的过程，它会给我们的职位带来舒适感和稳定感。这些好处源于我们已经实现了许多重要里程碑的信心。然而，伴随着稳定而来的是我们可能陷入停滞的风险。新领导者可以在建立自己的成就感时意识到相关风险，而老牌领导者可以评估并看看他们可以在哪里提高自己的听力技巧，当我们享受经验带来的好处时，这通常是第一个滑倒的。深入倾听被视为一种成长习惯，可以帮助提高我们的领导技能。
