About this audiobook

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you are wondering about the difference in a good leader and an excellent leader, you should find the answer by reading Listen Well, Lead Better. In their new book authors Steve and Becky Harling set out to prove their theory that communication is the key to leading better and that 80 percent of good communication involves listening. There are ten chapters that are packed with practical advice, their personal experiences, and many questions to help you reflect on what you've just read. I especially like that Listen Well, Lead Better also has an abundance of Bible scripture and that the last chapter is devoted to creating a sacred space to reflect and listen to God. Chapter Ten reminds us that 'learning to listen is really the key to influence' and that learning to listen to God is the greatest key of all!There are a multitude of self-help books about achieving success and Listen Well, Lead Better certainly deserves your attention.I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House but there was no obligation for a positive review. There is my honest opinion.
