“The Jazz Impact Process focuses on development of trust based upon building a comfort level within intuition. The ability to lead and listen simultaneously in real time is the basis for the entire process of creating new ideas. In jazz and in business, the role of support is the real enabler of leadership.
Great leadership is informed and directed through listening to the support of those being led. To lead and listen simultaneously requires empathic listening, recognizing and suspending your own assumptions and expectations so that you can identify and integrate the new ideas of others and yourself. Empathic listening as a cultural value builds an umbrella of trust that promotes a genuine exchange of ideas, skills, and incentives.”
