Frequently, leaders are very good at communicating their thoughts. These leaders can be very charismatic as they relay messages to others very clearly. However, there are two sides to communication, and sometimes, good leaders have difficulty actively listening to others. Often, they are so caught up in their own ideas that it makes it difficult for them to actively listen to other viewpoints. This is a skill that many leaders really need to improve upon, as decision making requires that many different viewpoints are heard and considered.

Analyze the contemporary research that assesses the importance of listening in the role of a leader. Assess how leaders must listen to both peers and followers. Apply the failure factors as indicated in the required readings in your assessment. As the leader of an organization, you will present to a target audience of your subordinates some recommended best practices to improve listening skills throughout your organization. Provide specific examples to help ensure an understanding of your recommendations.
