“A wise old owl lived in an oak.
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can’t we be more like that wise old bird?”
I've been in plenty of conversations and debates with men that dominated the conversation- but came nowhere close to putting themselves or their arguments in a good light.
One of my biggest lessons learned this year is the vital importance of listening and NOT talking as a competent, effective leader.
Domination does not mean coherence, substance, or 'winning'.
