Synergy Consultants, LLC — Leadership Tip : Stop, Look and Listen for the Perfect Gift!





Leadership Tip Stop, Look and Listen for the Perfect Gift! Recently I saw a bank billboard that said, “We’re listeners, not tellers.” George W. Bush also went on a listening tour last week to hear perspectives on Iraq. Listening is the most important gift we can give someone this holiday. It won’t cost you money, but you will have to spend your time. You won’t have to wait in lines or get stuck in traffic jams to find it. It will require you to be present, to hold back interrupting and to hear what is said and not said. (Did you get that?) Listening is a gift that will keep on giving. Others will feel valued, connected and respected. You will build a rapport and relationship that is priceless. So this holiday, stop searching for the perfect gift. You already have the ability to give it.	Leadership Tips Archives 2008 \| 2007 \| 2006 \| 2005 Stop, Look and Listen for the Perfect Gift! What Do You and a Radio City Rockette Have in Common?
