Listen First. Listen Most. Keep Listening.

Listen First. Listen Most. Keep Listening.

When I’m doing my best as a husband, father, friend, colleague, or leader, I’m listening first, I’m listening most, and I keep listening. I’ve never regretted “over-listening,” as if there even is such a thing. Listening has never failed me. It’s a vital skill and one I’m constantly seeking to improve.
