Within the modern business environment, there exists a massive corporate "listening" deficit. This deficit can cost a business millions of dollars each year in productivity, additional spending, and lost revenue. Corporate leaders must rely on clear and accurate communication more than ever before.

Critical listening skills must be nurtured and developed throughout the business organization if corporate leadership is to maintain a competitive edge. Effective listening skills demonstrate interest and concern, clarify meanings, and verify information to minimize misunderstanding and wasting time. Fine-tuning your team's listening skills will foster positive attitudes and provide effective feedback.

In its limiting form, we use listening to agree or disagree with others, prove ourselves right or others wrong, look good or make others look bad, dominate others, or avoid being dominated. Essential Listening, on the other hand, is a generous activity whereby the listener gets out of their own way to understand the world and experiences of others
