When we listen, we are available to new ideas, accessible to others, self-aware and aware of what is happening around us. As such, ideas grow, conflicts are avoided, problem solving ensues, and all this paves the way for creativity and innovation. Regardless of how coveted - - - in truth, we do not listen well. In the performing arts, actors, musicians and other artists do listen well - - they are masters of being ‘present’ and I suggest the world of business has a good deal to learn from the world of the arts.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/group/leadership" class="og_links">Leadership</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/rochelle-mucha/organizational-aesthetics/listening-and-leadershipa-tenacious-popular-and-essent">read more</a></p> connection conversation Leadership listening presence Leadership Management 765716 Leadership Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:06:32 -0400 Rochelle Mucha 765716 at http://www.fastcompany.com
