Listening Guide

The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people.

The ability to skillfully listen is one key to gaining influence with others.

No man would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next.

You are not learning nothing when you are doing all the talking.

Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerity form of flattery.

The first duty of love is to listen.

Every man I meet is in some way my superior, and I can learn of him.

Big people monopolize the listening; small people monopolize the talking.

You will never know how close you are to a million-dollar idea unless you are willing to listen.

Fresh, innovative ideas help us to find new ways to solve old problems, to generate new products and processes to keep organizations growing and to continue growing and personally improving.

Know how to listen, and you profit even from those who talk badly.

Everyone needs someone who he feels listens to him. 

A good listener is not only popular everywhere but after a while he knows something.

The friends who listen  to us are the ones  we move toward, and we want to sit in their radius.

Let others confide in you it may not help you,  but it surely will help them. 

The most important thing in communication is to hear what is not being said.

Comment on what you hear and individualize your comments- to prove your effectiveness in listening.

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity ...
