A recent book by certified forensic interviewer Michael Reddington translates his extensive interrogation experience into a transformative approach to leadership and communication.
“The Disciplined Listening Method: How a Certified Forensic Interviewer Unlocks Hidden Value in Every Conversation,” published by Per Capita, introduces strategic and ethical observation techniques honed by Reddington, who is also the president of InQuasive, Inc.
Reddington tailored his techniques for leaders looking to enhance their communication skills and uncover hidden values in their conversations. “The Disciplined Listening Method” outlines seven core behaviors that equip leaders with the tools needed to improve relationships and achieve positive results.
“One of the most talented presenters I have witnessed in person, Michael Reddington translates his gift into words with ‘The Disciplined Listening Method’, providing credible conversation techniques we can all implement,” says Jeff Dudan, CEO of Dudan Group and “UnderCover Boss” Franchise Executive. “Leaders get paid by the conversation, and after reading this book, you won’t see or hear conversations the same way again.”
Reddingtons work underscores the importance of recognizing subtle cues in interactions, a skill that can significantly reduce missed opportunities and foster more effective commitments to action. His methodology challenges traditional communication approaches by integrating interrogation techniques with leadership strategies.
Anastasios Economou, Founder of iGroup and YPO Global Chairman, calls “The Disciplined Listening Method” a “must read for leaders.”
“Mike shows you the importance of listening to what is said and, equally important, what is not said,” Economou said. “Invaluable for leaders who want to lead with vision and influence.”
For leaders and communicators alike, Reddingtons book offers valuable insights into maximizing the power of observation in negotiations and business development, all of which could redefine leadership communication as we know it. “The Disciplined Listening Method” stands as a testament to Reddington’s unique ability to turn investigative techniques into powerful tools for effective leadership.
