“Great
leaders listen more than they speak”……… Brian Tracy
When you listen, you gain from others
When you gain from others, you are more informed
When you are informed, you know more
When you know more, you do better
When you do better, you are recognized
When you are recognized, you start building a personality
When you have a good personality, you are respected and accepted
When you know you are accepted, you have self-confidence
When you are bold, you will try to attempt anything
When you attempt everything, you are vulnerable to failure
When you fail, you learn better
When you learn, you are more experienced
When you are experienced, you have an edge over others
When you have an edge over others, you are selected instead
of them
When you are always selected over others, it means you’ve
become people’s choice
When people choose you, you are likely to be hated by some
When some people hate you, you realize you can’t be loved by
all
When you get to know that everybody cannot love you, you develop
human management skills
When you can manage people, you will be able to elicit their
strategies
When you can elicit their strategies, you can influence
their thinking
When you can influence their thinking, you can decide their
moods
When you decide their moods, you can lure them to obeying
you
If people can obey your rules, you can lead them.
Hear this, to listen is one thing, to do is a better one. One
of the important powers that great leaders have is the listening attitude,
listening gives your internal an advantage from your external. If you want to
know more or lead well, you must be a listening type. As a success driven person, endeavor to
listen not only to the people around you but also to your inner self and EVERYTHING that surrounds you. This is
when you can be able to control what’s within and around you.
Note: Every
successful person plays rules. It’s a rule to selectively decide for yourself
what and who to listen to. Don’t just waste your time listening to what will
not contribute to your success. When a discussion is raised, I know for sure
that you would be able to envisage if it is worth your time and patience or
not. Found this post useful and inspiring? Kindly help a person or even persons
by telling them to always…………… listen first.
God bless!
