Why do today’s great leaders need to be great listeners? Because those who listen effectively are perceived to be more strategic, collaborative, and empathetic—all traits that ultimately influence others to follow them.
This book focuses on a single elegant behavior that helps you learn, model, and sustain a significant change in the way you listen. And—unlike any other technique—this skill emphatically proves to others that you are truly hearing them.
Once you learn the practical concepts, you’ll see exactly how it works when applied to day-to-day managerial situations like: Hiring, Onboarding, Delegating, Reviewing Performance, Coaching, Decision Making, Leading Change, Resolving Conflict, and Seeking Feedback. It’s so logical and easy to understand, you’ll start employing the techniques the day you finish reading the book.
Stuffed full of relatable examples, solid role-play scenarios, and skill-building exercises, this self-help book could also be used by HR professionals as a leadership development tool or the basis for an interactive management training program…but it’s also just plain fun to read!

Jon F. White
Jon White began his career as an educator; not surprisingly, his subject was Communications. He moved on to build a small chain of travel agencies, later sold for ten times the initial investment. Following that, Jon spent 20 years as a successful top-level business leader in the medical device industry.
Mr. White now infuses his work as an Executive Coach, Leadership Consultant, and valued Speaker with the practical knowledge he brought from each of his past experiences.
Jon has worked with senior leaders throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia and has consulted for a wide range of companies, including QualComm, Jenny Craig, Disney, Black and Decker, Callaway Golf, Chrysler, Kinder Morgan, Ingram Micro, Fieldstone Communities, Quest Diagnostics, and State Street Financial, to name just a few.
With a passionate interest in the behaviors necessary to provide outstanding leadership, Jon’s professional journey has led him to focus on Listening because he believes it to be the skill that is fundamental to almost all other leadership attributes.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Dallas, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
