more popular than ever \u2014 and for good reason.

Timid executives are called upon to learn to deliver motivational speeches; conflict-avoidant managers need to learn to deliver bad news; and mild-mannered job seekers need to pitch and promote themselves at networking events.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>If Your Boss Thinks You\u2019re Awesome, You Will Become More Awesome \u2013 Harvard Business Review\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your boss thinks you\u2019re awesome, will that make you more awesome?\u00a0 This question came to us recently, when we were working with the top three levels of management in a multinational. \u00a0When asked to rate their direct reports on <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2015\/01\/if-your-boss-thinks-youre-awesome-you-will-become-more-awesome\" target=\"_blank\">360 evaluations<\/a>, some managers consistently rated everyone higher, and others consistently lower, than the average.

These are important traits, but it\u2019s equally important for managers to stand down and listen up. Yet many leaders struggle to do this, in part because they\u2019ve become more accustomed to speaking than listening.
