Developing stronger leadership skills is an important act for virtually everyone in business. But becoming a better leader doesn't always require attending a pricey seminar. Sometimes, simple acts can have an immediate impact.
Being a good listener is a needful but rare quality in leaders. Every day, spend good time with someone who has something to say about a challenge or opportunity your business or society is facing. It might be an employee, relation or a friend. Leaders often talk too much and don't truly listen to the people around them, who often have valuable insights. But good ones do! As a JUST leader, listen to other people with the same level of attention and open mind as you would listen to a consultant or outside expert. You don't always have to follow the advice, but this exercise can help you get out of the same-old patterns of thinking.
Less wonder, God made our ears two.
