I've been working with you and watching you for awhile and, quite frankly, you talk too much. I feel breathless sometimes just trying to keep up with everything you say you know.
When we talk privately, you mention that you are afraid of being caught ?not knowing.? As a leader, you believe that you are expected to have all the answers. So you study long Chase Winovich Jersey , hard hours learning what you think you might need to know for your next encounter or meeting. Maybe you do this because you fear that you'll lose control in some way ? or maybe you just want to win the next disagreement. Whatever the reason, I'm sad that you expend so much of your energy this way. Although knowing is often important to the work you do, there is another, sometimes better way to learn while also developing deep and respectful relationships.
Let go of needing to know
To begin, let go of the notion that you are less of a leader if you don't know the answers. You can never be totally prepared for all of the potential questions you will face. So what would happen if you decided to be curious in your next meeting Joejuan Williams Jersey , discussion or encounter? How wonderful would it be if you were surprised by what you hear when you listen deeply and actively to another person? Is there something new you might learn by listening? What might intense listening do for your relationships and connections with others?
I read recently that when a person really feels heard, they release endorphins (biochemicals that make us happy). The fact is that people would rather be heard than hear your answers to everything. They mostly don't care about all of the stuff you know. They just want to tell their story and be listened to.
Practice not having all the answers
Test it for yourself. What can you gain by trying to listen? by being curious? by waiting to be surprised?
? Try listening consistently to one individual. This may be someone about whom you have made a negative judgment ? perhaps one of those 'difficult? relationships. Make the commitment to yourself that you will suspend judgment and deeply listen each time you meet with this person.
