The ECHO Listening Profile™ is listening styles map. It is generated when a participant completes ECHO's proprietary, scientifically validated cognitive assessment that measures what leaders and managers listen to and for, as well as what they might be unconsciously filtering out. It is the first listening assessment developed for business contexts that provides tangible, measurable, and actionable insights into listening styles that can be implemented immediately for strengthened leadership and team productivity.
Poor communication costs small-to-medium sized businesses $420,000 per year, and large companies an estimated $62.4 million annually in miscommunication, rework, missed deadlines, and stalled productivity. When leaders and employees understand listening styles, this financial drain can be avoided.
ECHO has undergone rigorous scientific research in content validity, criterion-oriented validity, and construct validity. The research is peer-reviewed and published in the scientific journal, The International Journal of Listening.
ECHO’s unique question format gathers in 10 questions the same amount of information other assessments gather in 60 questions, thus saving valuable time for test-takers.
