Another great Q&A from our friends at Sequoia with Tracey Young, CEO of PlanGrid.

Her message about simply listening strikes me as so fundamental to leadership and business success. She says ‘As I met people who were incredible listeners, I noticed how much they were able to take away from a conversation, and I really admired that.

I have felt the need and the pressure to be the manager who is always giving the ideas and has all the answers. There is a time and place where that is vital but also standing back and just listening to the team, peers, clients and industry is so vital. Showing I am approachable, willing to listen and engaged is something I strive for daily.

As business mentors, it’s our role to listen and understand a clients journey, goals and aspirations. So often when we partner with clients, their strategy and approach quickly evolve, when we press pause on execution mode and take the time to just talk. Simply listening could be the difference!
