If we want people to speak to us honestly, we must be willing to honestly listen.
@simonsinek So many people claim to want honest feedback but then get pissed off when they hear things they don’t like. All it does is teach other people to keep their mouths shut.
@simonsinek You can shorten this to: If we want people to speak to us honestly, we must LISTEN. Active listening with empathy is hard … & so worth it.
@simonsinek Poeple dont like honest poeple becuse that make them feel bad. But I agree with you
@simonsinek Listening seems to be a forgotten skill.
@simonsinek Listen to understand, not to reply. Or to give advice. Respect is earned through active listening, not agreement.
@simonsinek And listening isn’t preparing the next thing to say in your head. It’s being absorbed into the conversation. Thanks for sharing this Simon!
@simonsinek And we must be willing to hear the truth.
