Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube interview (Mick Hunt) in which Mick asks about communication habits of great leaders. The guest (Speaker A) emphasizes listening first—attentive listening as central to leadership—and links communication to relationships and collaborative work. Mick prompts for practical advice for applying these habits in everyday leadership.

What's one habit or trait that you could say all great leaders have when it comes to communication?
The great quality they have is they're great listeners. And it's not about what they say. It's about the fact that they listen first and they're really attentive to the people they're with.
Why do you keep doing all the amazing things that you do?
Communication is at the heart of everything that we do as human animals. It's how we get along with our friends, our family, our people. We work with the people who enable us to do the things that inspire us to reach whatever heights we're seeking to climb.
What are some practical pieces of advice from you, some pieces of wisdom from you of how they can get started, how they can start to recognize these things in their everyday leadership responsibilities?
Another thing, and this is going to sound a little crazy, but it's one of the best ways to see how you're doing is if you have a chance to record yourself. If you catch yourself in the wild on video and you see yourself as others see you, suddenly you realize, wait, I'm coming across like a Mack truck at people, Or I'm coming across as a little uncertain and tentative or whatever it is that your specific challenges.
