Smart Leaders Seek and Listen to These 3 Voices
The higher a leader gets in an organization, the harder it is to get authentic feedback. My experience suggests that this is a very true statement and that the problem isn’t isolated to senior executives. It can appear from the very moment you take your first formal leadership role.
To mitigate this challenge, I suggest that you seek out, listen to, and learn from 3 key voices. Truly listening to these voices requires a strong dose of humility, maturity, and openness; however, allowing them to exist creates both short and long-term benefits.
You can read more about these 3 voices in this article. Plus, you can download this free PDF suitable to print, post, and share with your colleagues.

Good morning. I like the three voices tool but the word Encouragement is mis-spelled. I don’t want to share it like that. Can you correct it and re-post?
Thank you for pointing out the misspelling. We have fixed it and reposted. Enjoy!
