On Listening with Tom Kaden and Michael Gingerich – Act 2

Tom Kaden and Michael Gingrich join me once again, and we dive right into the power of genuine listening and how it can transform organizations and lives. Throughout the conversation, Tom and Michael emphasized the importance of treating people like people, not machines, and shared inspiring anecdotes from their work. We explored how removing distractions and barriers can pave the way for authentic conversations and build trust within teams, and Tom and Michael finish out Act 2 by touching on the profound impact of acknowledging both the struggles and joys of employees' personal lives in fostering a sense of camaraderie and collaboration.
