Listening Skills for Leaders: Stop Talking, Build Trust | Luke Wyckoff

What if the one habit holding your leadership back is talking too much? Luke Wyckoff spent years as the leader who believed there were only two ways to do things, his way and the wrong way, until he learned that listening skills are where real leadership starts. He joins Greg Aden to talk about building trust, removing barriers for your team, and having the courage to fire yourself from roles and habits that hold you back.

In this conversation: - Why Luke narrows great leadership down to one thing, learning to stop talking and listen - How listening, follow up and follow through build the trust a team needs to follow you - The servant leadership question Luke asks his team: what red tape is in your way today? - What ten days in a slum in India taught him about needs versus wants, and what your people truly need

Luke also shares his grandfather's lesson on why the family construction crew cleaned the job site every Friday afternoon, how a whiteboard conversation with a room of healthcare CEOs turned into the company Social Media Energy, and why he later fired himself as its founder.
