There's a difference between asking employees for feedback and listening to them. Learn how to apply active listening tips to employee engagement surveys.
Barry Deutsch's insight:
In my webinar/workshop on Managing Remotely in a Crisis, I've been talking about the need to extend 1-to-1 coaching sessions throughout the entire managerial ranks.
One of the issues that surfaced with a group of CEOs the other day on one of these workshops was that they felt personally they were a poor listener and that the management team had no idea of how to listen effectively since they had never done any training.
This is a good reminder of the key elements of effective listening. It's very hard to coach when you don't listen.

In my workshops on raising engagement and productivity, I talk about the need for leaders to show empathy in their coaching by asking questions. Jay Steven Levin posts some good ones in his recent Forbes article.
I call this type of dialogue an LIB discussion - learning, impact, and becoming. The technical HR term for the discussion is a stay interview.
Regardless of what you call it - are you as a leaders asking these questions? Are you afraid to ask the questions? If you're not doing it as the boss - everyone else is trying to hook your top performers by engaging in this conversation: former associates, recruiters, and friends. Don't you want to in the drivers seat determining whether your top performers think the grass is greener somewhere else?
