Listen

#Beingaleader means you have to listen. To others. To yourself. To your team.

Listening to others. Critics. Competition. Supporters. All have something to say if you’re willing to listen. Is what they are saying truth? Even if it hurts, truth will still improve you. Improve your product. Improve your business.

Listening to yourself. This is often hard because it requires you to slow down and hear yourself think. Hear how you react and determine why. Knowing the healthy thing to do. Knowing the right thing to do. The next steps. All come from learning to listen to yourself.

Listening to your team. They are in the trenches with you. They know the vision. They know the goals. They are often the best source of accurate and helpful information. So take the time to listen to them.

#Beingaleader means you have to listen. Listen often. Listen well.
