Like an onion. Listening has layers 👇 Most communication stops at surface level But there's a deeper opportunity... ✅ The seven layers that transform workplace relationships: 1️⃣ FACTS → Beyond project updates → Past "status meetings" → Beneath the data 2️⃣ EMOTIONS → Understanding team climate → Reading between the lines → Sensing unspoken concerns 3️⃣ VALUES → What drives your people → Their personal mission → Core motivations 4️⃣ BELIEFS → How they see their role → Their vision of success → Personal roadblocks 5️⃣ MOTIVATORS → Real career aspirations → Growth ambitions → True engagement drivers 6️⃣ CURRENCY → What they bring uniquely → Their superpowers → Value proposition 7️⃣ WORTH → Long-term potential → Ultimate contribution → Fuller human picture 📌 When you get it right? → Deeper engagement through understanding → Stronger psychological safety → Better talent retention Friendly reminder: Don't just hear the updates. Listen for the story beneath. That's where real engagement lives. h/t Robert Ferraro on IG for the inspiration -- 👋 P.S. Tag a leader who makes you feel heard!

Strong cultures create safety. This story from Harvard shows you WHY 👇 Harvard professor Amy Edmondson's research discovered something fascinating: The best-performing medical teams reported MORE errors, not fewer. Why? Because they felt safe enough to admit and learn from them. 📌 The reality of workplace psychology: → Only 26% of leaders create true safety → Most teams hide mistakes out of fear → Innovation suffers when people play it safe Think about that: Boeing's 737 Max crisis happened not because people didn't see problems, but because they didn't feel safe raising them. ✅ Real psychological safety looks like: 1️⃣ Making it safe to be human → Welcome uncertainty openly → Share your own mistakes first → Respond with genuine empathy → Create space for "dumb" questions As one leader learned: "Pretending not to know something is worse than admitting you don't have all the answers." 2️⃣ Supporting intelligent failure → Distinguish between mistakes and experiments → Encourage thoughtful risk-taking → Learn collectively from setbacks → Share lessons transparently Look at Pixar: They've built a culture where honest critique behind closed doors leads to magic on screen. 3️⃣ Building authentic trust → Listen with real curiosity → Act visibly on feedback → Show appropriate vulnerability → Follow through consistently 📌 Remember: Strong cultures don't just say "it's okay to fail." They prove it through their actions every day. Because at the end of the day: Great teams aren't built on perfection. They're built on the courage to be imperfect together. -- 👋 How does your culture really handle mistakes? Let us know below!
