Leading with Open Ears: The Power of True Listening

What makes a great leader? Vision? Strategy? Charisma?
 What if the secret is something simpler... like listening?

In this episode of Lead in 10, Chris Moore breaks down the powerful biblical principle from James 1:19 — “Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” — and shows how it can completely transform your leadership. In a noisy world where everyone’s talking, true leaders are the ones who slow down, open their ears, and actually hear the people they lead.

💡 Learn how:

• Listening builds trust and reveals blind spots
• Jesus modeled patient, powerful leadership through presence
• You can lead with wisdom, not assumption
• Slowing down helps you speed up the right things in your business, team, and relationships

🎯 Whether you're leading a company, a church, or your family—this message is for you.
