Assignment:
On his website, global Listening expert, Oscar Trimboli writes "Communication isn't just about what you say, it is 50% speaking and 50% listening. Most programs about effective communication focus on speaking with influence and leading change by setting a compelling vision, yet over 93% of change initiatives fail. There is a missing ingredient - leaders who listen.
Only 2% of leaders have ever received any training on how to listen.
However, leaders typically spend 64% to 83% of their day listening. The more senior your role, the more critical listening is to your career progress.
If communication is 50% speaking and 50% listening, why is listening NEVER taught in leadership training programs?"
