Two ears, one mouth am sure you know there is wisdom in this. It is a great opportunity to listen because that is the only opportunity to hear great stories people want to share.
Everyone is an expert in one thing or the order the only opportunity to share out of their wealth of experience is only when we get to listen to them. The modern reality due to the noise and lot of things begging for our attention we now have 15 seconds managers, 18 seconds doctors and the 20 seconds teacher who don't listen actively to his subordinates, patients and students. What a world!
Silence can do a lot, just listen and ask smart questions and the only way you can do this is to be prepare to be nowhere else and give 100% attention. We all know great leaders are great listen . Listening is the hallmark of leadership but majority of the so called leaders are 15 seconds listener they just don't listen enough.
Listening is respect, listening partnership, listening is collaboration. Listening is the key to making sales, listening is networking, listening is profitable.
Please don't miss an opportunity to listen. What will you do at the next meeting? What will you do at the next hangout? If you are not exhaust ed after a talk then you weren't listening.
