"Time is the enemy of empathy."
In this conversation, Michael Reddington takes everything he learned about being a Forensic Interviewer and applies it to leadership and negotiation contexts. He emphasizes the need for creating conditions that encourage honesty and vulnerability while also addressing common listening mistakes.
Michael contrasts active listening with his disciplined listening method, highlighting the significance of situational awareness and the need to give up control in conversations to foster better communication. The discussion also touches on the role of vulnerability in leadership and the importance of emotional regulation to influence better in even difficult situations.
