Good listening skills can change minds, improve relationships and help build communities. Listening is also a big focus of the work of Nicole Furlonge, professor and director of the Klingenstein Center, Teachers College Columbia University.
Last spring, we were fortunate to catch up with Furlonge, who is an astute practitioner and proponent of what she calls âlistening leadership,â positioning listening as an essential interpretive and civic act that can lead to deeper engagement with others.
