I M leading with my ears before I ever lead with my mouth.

Wisdom

The loudest man at the table is rarely the wisest. The leader who listens first hears what is actually happening, and people follow the man who makes them feel heard far longer than the one who only makes them feel managed. Ears are a leader's most underused tool.

Carry It

In one meeting or conversation today, listen far more than you speak, and lead by what you learned.

Ask Yourself

Do the people you lead feel heard by you, or just managed?
