Good leaders are always in the “act” of leading. They listen as much to others as they listen to themselves.

About This Quote

Leaders are often criticized for being too busy or not paying enough attention to the people they lead. The problem is that leaders often only listen to themselves. Good leaders listen a lot to others. They listen to what their people have to say and they listen to what the people think they should do.
