You won't find a course on listening at many business schools, but it's an essential skill for leaders if they hope to counteract the multiple forces that can lull them into believing they know everything they need to know about what's happening in their organizations. At the core of the challenge is a paradox in the life of senior leaders, particularly CEOs: They generally have access to more lines of communication than anybody else has, but the information that flows to them is suspect and compromised. Here are seven useful tips for learning to listen more effectively: 1. Protect against blind spots. Kelly Grier, the U.S. chair and managing partner and Americas managing partner at Ernst & Young, has long made a habit of telling the people on her team that they need to keep her informed. As she puts it, “If you haven't created a culture or an environment where people feel free to challenge you as the leader, you are in a very perilous place, because you will have blind spots.” You have a responsibility to help me actively work the blind spot,” she tells them. “You've got to bring the truth forward. We have to have that level of trust.” 2. De-emphasize hierarchy. When Mark Templeton was the president and CEO of Citrix, from 2001 to 2015, he adopted a mantra to ensure that his employees wouldn't be intimidated by titles or rank. “A lot of organizations go off track by confusing where people are in the hierarchy with the respect they deserve,” he says. 3. Give permission to share bad news. When Penny Pritzker, who served as the U.S. secretary of commerce from 2013 to 2017, first met with job candidates, she would have a blunt conversation about the dangers of not sharing problems with her. “I would tell them,” she says, “that if you want to get fired, here's what you need to do: First, lie, cheat, or steal. But the other thing that will get you fired is if you have a problem and you keep it to yourself.” 4. Create an early-warning system. As the CEO of Aira Technologies, Anand Chandrasekher asks his team to follow a simple rule: If you have bad news, text me; if you have good news, share it with me in person. If you get bad news early, you can react faster, and that reaction time is precious.” 5. To encourage problem-solving, acknowledge progress. When Paul Kenward, a managing director of British Sugar, meets with groups of employees, he will sometimes ask them about the things they've accomplished during the previous five years that they're really proud of. Now imagine we're together five years from now. What are we proud of now? What would you really love to have achieved or the business to have changed? 6. Listen without judgment or an agenda. Joel Peterson, the former chairman of JetBlue Airways and the founder of Peterson Partners, an investment firm, says that senior executives may find it challenging to remain fully present in meetings when they have 10 things on their minds at any given moment. Leaders can help themselves avoid that danger by reminding themselves of a simple acronym whenever they're listening: WAIT, for “Why Am I Talking?” 7. Actively seek input. It's not enough just to emphasize that people should speak up. You also have to invest time and energy in walking the halls, traveling to manufacturing plants and stores, holding regular town halls, and meeting with smaller groups from various departments and ranks. What is your recipe for listening more? Do you ever catch yourself not being present? Bryant, A., and Sharer, K. (2021, March-April). Are You Really Listening? Harvard Business Review.

In this episode of the Leader's Panel, hosts Dr. Henry Cloud and LoriAnn Lowery-Biggers are joined by Joel Peterson to discuss how leaders work in a crisis, and what real listening is between co-workers, amongst many other topics. Mr. Peterson is the Chairman of JetBlue Airways, the founder of Peterson Partners with over $1 billion under investment, and a professor at Stanford's Graduate School of Business.

What role does trust play, within your company, when it comes to your individual and team performance?  Well, it turns out a lot. As Joel Peterson  -- Chairman of JetBlue, Consulting Stanford Professor, Author, and Founder of Peterson Partners which is part Private Equity and Venture Capital firm with over $1 billion under management-- puts it: "Trust is the most powerful operating system you can have. A lot of people think of it as this fuzzy feel-good thing; I like somebody, therefore, I trust them. In the book I wrote The Ten Laws of Trust, the fundamental thesis was that you can factor analyze trust, and if a leader will follow these laws, they can actually build a high trust culture. A high trust culture is really a more powerful one because it can deliver on promises. A high trust leader can delegate more easily because the people under him or her are able to predict what they are going to do. People who are low trust, everybody is afraid of them and they’re afraid to make decisions. They’re unable to really empower others." In the absence of a high trust culture, what's possible for the company gets negatively impacted as trust is the foundation upon which relationships are built. In its most basic form, companies are made up of people working together and the quality of the interactions is correlated to the degree of trust. Also, Joel not only has pioneered and led some of the most forward-thinking companies but has also financed them. As a 2X author, Joel is uniquely positioned to understand what fundamentally successful companies do and has gracefully shared these operating principles in his latest book: Entrepreneurial Leadership: The Art of Launching New Ventures, Inspiring Others and Running Stuff?

They think integrity just means honesty, and they see it as a virtue. I think of it more like structural integrity. There’s no gap between what I say and what I do. People can rely on my promises.

JetBlue Chairman Joel Peterson and Michael talk through the playbook for establishing and maintaining a culture of trust that breaks down the operational silos and CYA mentality that plague many organizations. Trust is the glue that holds an organization together. It turns deflection into transparency, suspicion into empowerment, and conflict into creativity. With it, a tiny company like John Deere grew into a worldwide leader. Without it, a giant corporation like Enron toppled. How does it feel to work for a firm where leaders and colleagues trust one another? Freed from micromanagement and rivalry, every employee contributes his or her best. Risk-taking and innovation become the norm. And, as Peterson notes, “When a company has a reputation for fair dealing, its costs drop: Trust cuts the time spent second-guessing and lawyering.” With The 10 Laws of Trust Expanded Edition in hand, you’ll be able to plant the seeds of trust—and reap the rewards of reputation, profits, and success. This fully expanded edition includes a powerful self-assessment tool for organizations to evaluate their culture of trust and discover areas for improvement. Peterson has also added rich new case studies and chapters on the theme of betrayal, including how to manage and guard against it.

The state of trust in America seems to be in freefall. Trust in government, big business and large institutions has unraveled. Distrust has begun to fray the fabric of society and erode trust in community, neighbors and even between individuals. True leaders recognize that a culture of trust is not just a nice to have HR program. A culture of trust is key to innovation, excellence and sustainable success. Legendary leader and entrepreneur Joel Peterson, chairman of JetBlue Airways and founding partner of the investment management firm Peterson Partners, shares his 10 laws of trust on this episode of "Therefore, What."

"People are weary.  Trust is critical.  You must do what you say you are going to do." "Trust is not being gullible.  Trust is a hard edged concept." It's three parts: Character Competence Authority How to build a culture of trust? Listen -- Capture what your team is saying through 1 on 1 conversations.  Understand common values, goals, strategies Reframe the dashboard -- What does winning look like? Make sure it is clearly defined.  What's the current level of trust in the organization? How to run an effective meeting: Have a purpose, the right people in the room, and follow up assignments. Have pre-work.  It must be done.  Go through each individual member.  "Build trust by the process." How to run a town-hall: Listen carefully, repeat it.  FOLLOW UP and take action. How to handle broken trust? Fix breaches immediately. "Bad news doesn't get better with age." -- "Don't let grass grown under your feet." "Trust decreases transaction costs." -- Everything is faster when there is trust. "You can't do good business with bad people." Interview process: Understand the decision points Determine roles/responsibilities as a team Check references The most important decisions you will make is who you hire and who you fire There must be a vividly clear picture of what success is: Break down the details: Who is the champion? Time frame? Budget? -- Measure all of them to ensure all involved know what success is. Do a post-mortem: What went well? What didn't? Why? Keep your team informed: "Err on the side of over-communication." "Write a partner letter every two weeks.  Keep everyone updated." For JetBlue, there is a weekly meeting update -- a "State of the Union" for the 24,000 employees Create a learning organization -- Foster an environment where there is a love for learning. Strive for win-win negotiations Each is part of a series -- Think long term You must be fair in order to do many deals Art of the compromise -- Don't be zero sum.  You'll build a reputation and nobody will want to work with you. Embrace respectful conflict -- Create an environment where people can open disagree.  This helps people refine their ideas and make them better. Advice for husbands/dads: Be there as a cheerleader, not a policeman Be a listener, make sure you understand "Love is the most powerful force in the world."

It’s been a nutty few weeks for me because, in case you hadn’t heard, I exited my corporate job earlier this year. If you don’t know the story, you should enroll in our emails where you can get the latest and greatest stories and additional content from us delivered to your door (well, virtual door). I then started my own consulting business, not really knowing what to expect. But after I started telling people what I was up to, I have been flooded with inquiries and I’m overwhelmed with emotion and hope these days. I also have been getting a huge dose of inspiration from our own guests, which has been incredibly cathartic for me, including the guest we have today, of whom I’m a total fangirl... Anne Mahlum.

After decades of doing business, Joel Peterson has distilled his most powerful learnings in The 10 Laws of Trust: Building the Bonds That Make a Business Great. At the core of all strong business relationships, we find trust. According to Peterson, it means "willingly ceding a measure of control to another.... Trust is a leap of faith rooted in optimism." This deeply held belief in the goodness of others drives us to choose trust over skepticism and negativity. Then we allow trust to become the “lubricant” for accelerating decision-making and for creating durable, flexible agreements. Trust is also at the center of our strongest personal associations. “But,” says Peterson, “trust doesn't just happen.” Instead, creating such trust requires an investment.  In other words, “It takes initiation, nurture, evaluation, and repair. Trust is earned. Trust builds over time.” Even when we've built good relationships characterized by an abundance of trust, Peterson warns us to not take it for granted. With illustrative anecdotes, Peterson clarifies each of the 10 Laws of Trust: Start with Personal Integrity Invest in Respect Empower Others Measure What You Want to Achieve Create a Common Dream Keep Everyone Informed Embrace Respectful Conflict Show Humility Strive for Win-Win Negotiations Proceed with Care Peterson sums up his life of learning to trust and of becoming trustworthy by concluding that trust is worth all the risks it requires. He continues, "Indeed, living life without deeply trusting others is even riskier, a whole lot less satisfying, and much less likely to result in maximizing potential." Peterson has been on the faculty at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University since 1992, teaching courses in real estate investment, entrepreneurship, and leadership. He's the Chairman of the Board of Overseers at the Hoover Institution at Stanford and the Chairman of the Board at JetBlue Airways. He's also the Founding Partner and Chairman of Peterson Partners, a Salt Lake City-based investment management firm with $1 billion under management.
