What the Best Leaders Train Themselves to Do
What if the best thing you could say as a leader… was nothing at all? In this episode, Matt Norman unpacks a powerful yet underrated leadership skill: self-restraint. Inspired by insights from podcaster Dan Heath, we explore how great leaders resist the urge to jump in with answers — and instead create space for others to speak freely.
You’ll learn why asking before explaining leads to more authentic conversations, stronger relationships, and smarter collaboration. Whether you're navigating conflict, trying to win support, or just want to stop dominating meetings without realizing it, this episode offers a refreshing reminder: listening well is leading well.
