The seven deadly sins of not listening
Do you ever “sin” when you listen? If you’re aware of biblical definitions, to “sin” means “to miss the mark.” To be “off.” Most of us commit at at least one sin while listening, and usually more!
What I’m talking about is letting other processes get in the way of solid listening skills, which inhibit our ability to truly listen. In my book Creating Passion-Driven Teams, I outline the seven deadly sins of (not) listening. Knowing where you “sin” in your listening endeavors is important because millions of dollars are wasted and many relationships are damaged every day because of poor listening.
Most of us think we’re good listeners, but when given the opportunity to prove ourselves, we often fall short. The seven deadly sins of (not) listening are famous for getting in the way of—or damaging—good relationships.
You can listen to me discuss these seven sins in a 15-minute blog talk radio podcast, linked below.
