How can listening more than you talk make you a more effective leader?
In this Leadership Hacks episode of Learning to Lead, Dr. Tobias Wasser, MD, MBA, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs at Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University and Chair of Psychiatry at Hartford Healthcare, shares that strong leadership is not about having all the answers or dominating the conversation. It is about creating psychological safety, genuinely hearing diverse perspectives, and allowing better ideas to emerge through the wisdom of the group. He also reflects on the mentors who shaped his leadership style and offers practical strategies for becoming a more intentional listener.
Key takeaways:
1. Listen more than you talk: remember that listening is not simply waiting for your turn to speak
2. Create psychologically safe spaces where people feel comfortable sharing ideas and challenging assumptions
3. Be curious, not judgmental: Approach conversations with curiosity instead of judgment to unlock better decisions and stronger collaboration
The best leaders create the conditions for others to be heard, and in doing so, make better decisions together.
