SUMMARY:LeanCon 2026 – Building Resilience for Uncertain Times
DESCRIPTION:The New Leadership Listening: Sensing Beyond Sight and Sound\n\nThe idea of “leadership” is one that’s been studied, taught and practiced throughout human history. In relatively recent times, people in leadership positions or aspiring to them have had many models to consider or practice, from Situational Leadership, to Transformational Leadership, to Servant Leadership, and many others. And while listening skills have always been central to ideas about effective leadership, the idea of Listening Leadership as more of a framework or model than simply a set of skills is everywhere right now.\nFrom the offerings of premier training institutes like Center for Creative Leadership, to the frameworks of major global consultants like McKinsey; and from coverage in Forbes and HBR, to new influential books like Radical Listening, the evolution of listening in leadership has arrived at a very interesting place.\nJoin Big Waves partners Brook Thorndycraft and Joanne Kerrigan to learn about the new knowledge on what listening really is in leadership (spoiler, it is much more than hearing speech) and to practice some powerful techniques you can bring into your work today.\n\n
