Listening redefines how we think about interaction in the workplace. Traditionally, communication has been viewed as a top-down process—managers give instructions, and employees follow them. But true communication is far more dynamic. It involves not only expressing ideas clearly but also receiving and understanding input from all levels of an organization. Based on the definition from Webster (2012)—“to make known or to express oneself effectively”—this book argues that the most overlooked, yet most powerful, aspect of workplace communication is listening. When leadership listens as much as it speaks, and when employees feel heard, organizations become more collaborative, more innovative, and more successful. Rich with practical examples and insights, Listening encourages readers to shift from simply conveying information to actively creating connection. Whether you're a business leader, supervisor, or team member, this book will inspire a new mindset: that listening isn't a soft skill—it's a strategic one.
