Building Trust Through Active Listening

Suggested Strategy: Trust comes

through a variety of things, but

arguably one of the most important

behaviors you can demonstrate is

active listening. Highlight your own

relationship with trust to allow your

employee/manager to reflect on their

own experience without directly calling

them out.

Suggested Questions:

→ Hypothetical Question: Hypothetically speaking, if I were to ask you to

rate my active listening ability, what would you give me on a scale of one

to six, with six being I consistently demonstrate active listening, and one

I rarely, if ever, demonstrate active listening? What behaviors or

techniques could I work on to develop better active listening skills?

→ Rating Question: Now, do the same thing for yourself as the previous

question. If you had to rate your ability to demonstrate active listening,

where would you rate yourself on that same scale and why? Do we have

things in common that we need to work on? Different? Why do you think

that is?
