In this episode of The People Playbook, host Coach Cora explores why listening breaks down in workplace leadership, arguing that miscommunication stems from differences in what people pay attention to rather than a simple lack of effort. She breaks down the five core listening styles—discerning, comprehensive, evaluative, empathic, and appreciative—and provides practical tools for leaders to adapt their style to give speakers what they actually need to feel heard.
