Listen

Resist the urge to talk, just listen

Sometimes, you have the perfect thing to say when someone else is talking.

You just know it’s going to save the world, solve that problem, generate revenue or build on a process.

Stop.

Seriously, stop.

While some us have the tendency to ramble, defaulting to listening has a ton of benefit:

• You’ll let someone flesh out an idea
• Your question or thought answered before you ask it
• The other person’s respect doesn’t feel trampled on

As a result, the culture that you’re in becomes better. This result compounds.

Just listen.
