Why listening is a key to leadership

Did you ever hear the phrase, "Everything you want to say you already know." Well, that's why leaders understand that listening is a key to effective leadership.

Finding out what others think enables a leader to learn how to communicate with those he or she leads. In a world where listening has become a tool that few have mastered, those who know how to listen (and act on what they've learned) will find it much easier to succeed.

Since you already know what you're gonna say...why not find out something new instead?!
