Seth Godin says:
"What we want in a leader is someone
who will listen."
We want to be listened to.
Children want that from parents.
Wives want that from husbands.
Parents want that from kids.

I bought a pair of shoes recently in Seattle. The ad said $39.95 for a $100 pair of shoes. Those were the shoes I asked for.
Why did that young clerk bring me two other pairs first? After two attempts, I walked to the display and showed him the shoes I wanted. Finally, success. He brought and I bought. End of story - except I still remember not being listened to and now I'm telling you my saga.
We honor when we listen.
We respect when we listen.
We learn when we listen.
What a novel concept.
