Listening vs. Talking

James 1:19 - Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger

Matt Perman:

Do you think you work well with people because you are able to talk well? Or do you think that you don’t work well with people because you aren’t able to talk well?

Peter Drucker points out that this has it backwards:

Too many think they are wonderful with people because they talk well. They don’t realize that being wonderful with people means listening well.

This is within the grasp of everyone. It is not easy, but everyone can do it.
