Mentioned at a meeting last week: “From several sides, discrimination is perceived as a bigger and growing problem, discrimination with a focus on age. Danish legislation (§ 7a), in particular, “prevents” many companies from hiring older employees with greater experience and knowledge, and that is unfortunate. Experience obviously does not have the same value in Europe – as in Asia! Is it going in the wrong direction?”

Harvard Business Review analyzed behavioural data of 3,492 managers who were in a development program to become better coaches. HBRs goal was to identify the differences between average and great listeners. It compiled a list of characteristics that make managers climb the ranks to be the best kind of listeners for their employees.
Rather than staying silent during conversations, the best listeners engage in two-way dialogue, making suggestions, asking questions, and acting as a sounding board for the other person. Good listeners pay attention to non-verbal cues and keep the focus on the other person. If you’re naturally dominant with the drive to have control over your environment, be aware of your natural tendency to commandeer the conversation and avoid that behaviour.
