I'm sure you've been on the receiving end of this. The question is: are you dishing it out? Listening in a distracted way during an important conversation. So-called "multitasking" when you really ought to be giving your full attention. Science has shown us that we can't actually multitask on executive function brain tasks, so let's stop the charade and quit this nasty and increasingly common habit. On today's solo episode of the TalentGrow Show, Halelly will share a story from a recent workshop participant where this issue came up. Then she'll explain why it's not wise to do something else that requires your thinking bandwidth during critical conversations (the kind where there's an important outcome and your relationship is on the line). Like reading or writing emails, for example. Even if others are doing it. Even if your senior leaders do it. Don't. Take a listen now and share with those who could also benefit!
