How Active Listening Drives Influence - Season 2: How to Increase Morale (2.3) Morale Mindset
-
- Management
What does it really mean to listen to someone? Listening is just the action of processing sounds. But what most people probably mean is, do we understand the words coming out of their mouth. We listen actively by digging in to understand the speaker's intent and by validating whether we have a complete understanding of their message.
Is this conversation going to take more time compared to you just saying your idea? Yes. It will take more time. But this invested time builds morale and influence with this individual. People will more keenly listen to us, when they know that we will deeply listen to them.
About
Morale is the drive, the spirit that other individuals have to support our goals. With high morale, all objectives requiring multiple individuals will become streamlined. With low morale, these same objectives will continue to struggle obstacle after obstacle. Having a Morale Mindset means placing morale as a key factor in our decision making so that we can optimize for stronger results through improving individual performance. In the podcast, "Morale Mindset", we discuss ways to elevate morale in the people around us, through actual stories and tactical solutions.
