Improving the Listening Skills of Managers at Procter & Gamble
Introduction
The managers of Procter & Gamble (P&G) are highly trained professionals. They work under heavy time pressures and tight
deadlines. As a result of this, the managers were not listening effectively to customers and co-workers.
LEAD group
59
To improve the listening skills of the employees and managers, the Research and Development (R&D) department
conducted a programme for middle managers and technical leaders. A group Leaders Effect A Difference (LEAD) was
formed to attend that programme. The objective of the LEAD group was to increase innovation and build lasting
relationships to increase long-term networking.
The participants of the LEAD group could obtain the following benefits:
Recognise the complexities of work issues.
Accept the senior management expectation.
Recognise the importance of helping others to solve their work issues.
The programme for a LEAD group begins with a 45 minute introduction to LEAD process and is followed by building in-
depth listening skills. Listening is the main point of coaching; hence it plays a critical role in developing coaching.
The lead group was structured into groups of six persons. Participants were asked to play the role of helper and observer.
Each member of the group was assigned the role of seeker for one of the six LEAD sessions.
The seeker was assigned the role of practicing the skills of helping others on work issues. The helper was assigned the role
of practicing listening and training skills with the aim of assisting the seeker to think, feel, and plan.
Outcome of the LEAD group
Over time, the LEAD group programme was effective in motivating listening skills of managers.
The LEAD group approach met the business need for improved coaching by managers and was successful in establishing
communication with broader network of employees.
Discussion Questions:
1. Give the reason which made the managers ineffective listeners?
(Hint: Refer Introduction of the case study)
2. What are the benefits of LEAD group program to the participants?
(Hint: Refer Lead group of the case study) Refer to unit 4
Descriptive questions: 10 marks each 1. Discuss the channels of communication. Explain the guidelines followed while
selecting the appropriate channel. (refer to unit 2)
2. With the help of three steps format (Preliminary parts, body of the reports and annexes) prepare a business report. (refer

It has been over a year that they are working on developing and
implementing the plan. It involves big amount of investments as well
as more manpower with different skill sets. It is a tough challenge but
to adopt this technological change is mandatory for Maverick learning.
At different levels, there are mixed reactions towards the change. For
old academicians, it is difficult to catch up with the change and
prepare the e-content. Even at higher level there are financial
constraints which put the limitation for hiring more employees or
outsourcing the work.
In the academic council meeting, most of the academicians say that

preparing e-content is duplication of work, technology-enabled
learning is useless because many students from remote areas cannot
access it. They say whatever requirements the learning consultants are
putting before them cannot be implemented.
Mr.Shantaram is leading the academics, and he picks few people from

the team to coordinate the tasks related to academics. Within a month,
the response improves, raising the number of logins by ten times.
Mr.Shantaram again calls a meeting of all academicians and shares the

interesting results. This time, he also61
makes more teams and allocates
responsibility amongst the old academicians. He promises to hire two
more people to provide technical assistance. He also introduces some
