Want to soften conflict?
Don’t rush to reply, fix or explain.
Listen Like the Rain
Listen like the rain, steadily and systematically.
Soak into every layer.
Understand how your system breathes, how its soil softens, and how it shoots new roots.
Sense where it’s dry and where it overflows.
Systemic listening means tuning into the whole ecosystem: the silences, the roots, the subtle shifts, the seasonality.
Systemic listening reveals hidden wisdom.
It invites your quieter leaders or team members to rise.
It recalibrates old hierarchies and breathes some life into your place.
It turns bland KPI-focused or monologic management meetings and other ailing get-togethers into something much more interesting: relational rainfalls where real transformation happens.
Reflection seed:
Where and when are you still listening to respond, rather than to ignite?
What might soften if you listened like rain?
