Monthly Membership Perk:
The Skill of Listening Like You Mean It
In their book Exceptional Leadership, Carson F. Dye, FACHE, and Andrew N. Garman, PsyD, believe that exceptional leaders use select competencies—a set of professional and personal skills, knowledge, values and traits—to guide their performance. Dye and Garman have grouped these competencies into four cornerstones: well-cultivated self-awareness, compelling vision, a real way with people and masterful execution.
Under the third cornerstone “A Real Way With People,” chapter six—titled “Competency 6: Listening Like You Mean It”—focuses on listening with intent, or active listening. Dye and Garman explain the importance of this listening style, why it matters and why specific behavioral characteristics are necessary when “listening like you mean it.” Additionally, the authors examine how listening can work against you and how to hone exceptional listening skills—thereby dodging the pitfalls of active listening. The chapter concludes with actionable takeaways and listening improvement techniques.
This month, chapter six of Exceptional Leadership, is free of charge to ACHE members. This latest edition of Exceptional Leadership includes reflection upon contemporary issues and the latest research on leadership such as energizing staff, developing vision and physician leadership, coaching leaders, cultivating adaptability and other related areas.
We hope you enjoy this complimentary Monthly Membership Perk, and we thank you for being a part of the ACHE community.
