Marylhurst alumna, Cathy Bennett speaks with rabbi and business consultant, Rob Abramovitz, in her lastest BlogTalkRadio episode “Servant Leadership: Narrative Leadership – Creating a Story” about the importance of practicing effective listening . There are many books written on how to do business better, but many still side-step the inherent power in narrative to inform our day to day business experiences—our foundational stories. From knowing what is really going on within us and others through deep listening or shema, according to Hebrew, we can engage with each other as we work together from a deeper more humane place. However, there is another approach to business management with its own set of reliable metrics—the narrative approach. Join Cathy and Rabbi Rob as they discuss the unique and useful metrics of narrative for creating better business relations through practicing deep listening.
