“The quieter you become, the more you can hear” – Author Unknown
One of the important attributes of good leaders is the ability to listen. Good leaders listen. They listen intently to what the other person is saying verbally. They also actively listen for what the other person is not saying verbally, but communicating with their bodies. You can influence more, when you listen more.
“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.” –Karl A. Menniger
