Thoughts on Listening

42 sec

Do you listen?  Can you hear?  These are not rhetorical questions.  They matter in all of our relationships.  Let’s consider some key points.

John Maxwell says: 

“Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.”

We listen for two reasons:
1.     To connect with others
2.    To learn from others

It’s an old saying and it is still true: 

“People don’t care how much you know
until they know how much you care.”

Love what Larry King once said: 

“I remind myself every morning:  nothing I say this day will teach me anything.  So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening.”
