Smart leaders understand the power of listening. By valuing others' perspectives, they not only strengthen their own scripts but also position themselves as open, inclusive, and participative leaders.
Not only is listening an opportunity to strengthen your script but it has another hidden advantage. The smart leader gets perceived as being open minded, participative and inclusive. If they listen to critics, they will certainly listen to friends - that's the belief of the followers.
Isn't it smarter for one to then be listening, moreso to ones critics ?
