The best advice I have for leaders is simple: listen. Not half-heartedly. Not while waiting to respond. Listen as if your leadership depends on it, because it does. Pay attention to every person you interact with. Be an active student of people. Notice how they move, how they respond, what they leave unsaid. That’s where the truth lives. Surround yourself with people who lead with empathy and apply it. Not just feelers, but people who turn emotional awareness into practical action. Then be quiet. Hold space. Let the silence speak. Great leaders don’t need to be the loudest in the room. They need to be the ones who hear what others miss. #leadership #listening #leadersforchange
