Embrace Level Four Listening for Effective Change
Listening is more than hearing words; it's about understanding others. In Theory U, there are four levels of listening, and the deepest, Level Four, is called Generative Listening.
Here, you silence your own thoughts and judgments, fears and cynicisms, and truly connect with others' ideas and feelings. You don't just listen; you sense what's said and unsaid. It's in this deep listening that you find new ways to adapt, learn, and grow.
You see things differently, feel more connected, and find new paths to change. It's not just about managing change, it's about evolving with it.
