In any Leadership Program the main emphasis is on ‘Listening Skill’.
So how does one aspire to be a good leader if he or she does not listen to others. In our culture also we are taught from our childhood to listen and then only talk. In our younger days, during dinner when we all had the opportunity to sit and eat together numerous discussions surface. There was never such discussion where we could not comment or take part, but our parents made it clear that before putting up any comment you have to listen attentively. They tired to imbibe this habit of Listening in us as they knew from experience that it will yield positive results. Both my parents have been successful and widely admired in their respective fields.
But, now we pay to listen to celebrities, coaches speak these simple things. The reason why I say is simple because we have been created by the almighty as such, with 02 ears and 01 mouth.
Today, sadly most of our leaders pay no heed to the reality, they do not want to listen the truth, more like, they say that they walk the truth but in reality, it is the opposite. Again, we find some leaders who tends to listen, but they listen only to reply or confront.
This is a habit that is inculcated in someone from an early stage, and it requires considerable effort to develop good and true listening skills.
We do not like people who do not listen to what we say, interrupt in between… So, let us then try not to be one such…
This is a simple but giant step to develop ourself professionally and contribute to the Society.
