1
the best businesses, leaders will, on a semi-irregular basis, depending on the size of the business, it could be once a year,
2
but you go out to the field or you call people up and say, how are you?
3
Just checking in, wanted to see how you're doing.
4
Or, I want to learn about your career ambitions.
5
How did you find yourself in this profession?
6
Where do you want to go?
7
What are your ambitions?
8
Do you have kids?
9
Do you have a family?
10
Tell me something about you?
11
Do you like working here?
12
What is something that we can do better?
13
What's something that I'm not seeing?
14
And some of it might be helpful and some of it might not be helpful, but the point is you'll get information that you ordinarily wouldn't get,
15
and most important, they've probably never been asked before ever.
16
And so simply showing up to listen or take them out for lunch and get their input about the business,
17
they're on the front line.
18
So they actually have a lot of customer information that you don't have.
19
And so talking to them about what they're hearing, what they're seeing, what other business opportunities they think there are.
20
Listening is a big thing.
21
Listening is active, and listening is very difficult.
22
You should be, at the end of the day of listening, you should be exhausted, right?
23
Because you're not listening for words, you're listening for meaning.
24
And the goal of listening is not to prove that you heard.
25
The goal of listening is that they feel heard, right?
26
And so you don't have to agree with everything and you don't have to like everything.
27
You have to take it in.
28
You can ask clarifying questions.
29
But remember, they're going to take a risk to tell you something and if you receive it graciously,
30
they'll tell you more and more and more and you'll develop a relationship where honesty and truth becomes the currency.
31
If you're defensive or you attempt to correct or dismiss what they say,
32
they'll shut down and they'll tell you what you want to hear or tell you nothing because that's the condition you created.
33
And so good listening sounds like this.
34
Can you tell me are there things in this business that you think that we can do better?
35
And it doesn't matter if they're right or wrong.
36
It's their experience.
37
And you don't have to agree.
38
We always say that if you have an emotional response, if it makes you angry or upset, it's probably true.
39
If you feel nothing about what they said, then maybe they misunderstood, but you can still take it all in, write it down and say,
40
tell me more, go on, go on, what else?
41
And that's basically your entire job.
42
What else go on?
43
And you'll walk away the list and you'll be like, I knew these things were ready, these things I didn't know, these things, it's just a bit of a bitch fest, that's okay, everybody has that.
44
You'll walk away with some information, but most importantly, they feel heard.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
