Great communicators learn the art of listening. If my only form of communication is sharing my opinion or view, then regardless of the eloquence, I’m a poor communicator. When I take time to listen to someone, I show that I respect and honor that person.
“Listening is an art that requires attention over talent, spirit over ego, others over self.” (Dean Jackson)
“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
(James 1:19)
