Survey Results

Thanks to all of youwho took our annualMember Survey thisfall. As you know,we count on you totell us what you thinkabout all facets ofthe GOOD Network. Click to view surveyresults on thewebsite.

Based on yourthoughtful feedback,we confirmed somesuspicions we hadand learned someother things. According to you, wecontinue to do a lotof things right. Based on ourincreasingmembership andgood turnouts atmeetings, we are notsurprised. Nonetheless, we aregratified byconfirming that. People continue totake away usefulinformation from the



active listening, there is no

passive listening. You’re

either listening, or you’re

not.” To that end, he guided

us through the Watson-

Barker Listening Test so we

could see for ourselves how

effectively we listen.

Rick walked the group

through some of the tools he

has developed over his

lifelong pursuit of listening,

such as the SIER model that

emphasizes sensing,

interpreting, evaluating and

responding. Rick sees

listening as the cornerstone

of all human behavior, and

likens the SIER model to a

similar culinary term:

“searing in the juices.”

From his book, “Listening

Pays,” Rick shared some of

the essential elements of an

organizational listening audit,

including an assessment of

the listening mindset,

listening systems,

accountability, measurement

and listening development.

The “Listening Pays” model

distills to these six key steps

in a repeating cycle:

1. Build a solid foundation

2. Develop healthy habits

bimonthly meetings.

Speakers and their

topics, networking

with fellow OD

professionals, and

sharing best

practices continue to

be why you come to

the meetings. You

prefer high quality

speakers over

particular topics

(forced answer) by a

2-to-1 margin.

Topics you'd like to

hear more about

vary across the OD

spectrum, from old

standbys like

Leadership

Development and

Managing/Facilitating

Change to Emotional

Intelligence and the

more quantitative

areas such as

Metrics, Tools,

Surveys, and

Assessments.

An ongoing challenge

for us is making sure

we continue to find

creative ways to

encourage

networking.

Additionally, there is

interest among a

significant number of

you to participate in

an organized

volunteering effort.

And many of you

think that an off-

hours social event

would be valuable

and worthwhile.

All of this will help

guide us successfully

through 2014.

Thanks again for

your candid feedback

and continued



3. Take 100% responsibility

4. Ditch the distractions

5. Lead your emotions

6. Take meaningful action

To underscore just how

essential listening is for

leaders, Rick shared an

excerpt from “Sound of the

Forest”:

“To hear the unheard is a

necessary discipline to be a

good ruler. For only when a

ruler has learned to listen

closely to the people’s

hearts, hearing their feelings

uncommunicated, pains

unexpressed, and complaints

not spoken of, can he hope

to inspire confidence in his

people, understand when

something is wrong, and

meet the true needs of his

citizens. The demise of

states comes when leaders

listen only to superficial

words and do not penetrate

deeply into the souls of the

people to hear their true

opinions, feelings, and

desires.” Pan Ku, Sound ofthe Forest.

In October, Rick Bommelje

shared his model of how to

achieve significance through

the power of listening:

support!
