In order to be effective at leadership, leaders must understand the social and group context in which they sit. We must relate to our colleagues, direct reports, and peers in an authentic and genuine way that respects the stories of all people concerned. This skill is called story listening. To motivate people or share a vision, a leader must hone the skill of story listening in order to connect with one’s audience, decode third party beliefs and sensibilities, empathize in an effective way, and create a cohesive strategy for working together collaboratively. This lab is ideal for business students and emerging leaders who want to increase their leadership ability and improve team intelligence, team morale, and team cohesion. In the business context, students will be better prepared to support team cohesion, facilitate difficult conversations, improve team Intelligence, and meditate workplace disputes.
