‘Hear Me, everyone, and understand.’ Mark 7:14 NKJV
Jesus said, ‘Hear Me, everyone, and understand.’ He spoke life-changing words, but He understood that preoccupied minds don’t always listen too well. Are you a good listener?
1) If you’re a leader, do you listen to your followers? The kind of leaders people want to follow do more than just express their opinion when they interact with you; they take the time to get a feel for who you are as a person. If you’re accustomed to listening only to the facts and not the person who expresses them, change your focus—really listen.
2) If you’re in a team, do you listen to your team members? Never get so caught up in your own ideas and strategies that you don’t hear your team members’ concerns, complaints, and suggestions. You should see unhappy team members not as a problem but as an opportunity to improve your relationship with them. That’s why you should make it a priority to listen to your team members and respect their input as part of the team.
3) If you’re committed to growth, are you listening to your mentors? You will never become so advanced or experienced that you can afford to be without mentors. If you don’t have mentors, go out and find them. If you can’t find a mentor, begin by reading the right books, starting with your Bible. If you’re not following in the footsteps of someone wiser than you, there is a good chance you’re not on the right path.
