Focus on Habit 5:
Seek First to Understand,
Then to be Understood
Dr. Stephen Covey taught us that
most people do not listen with the intent
to understand; they listen with the
intent to reply. Listening for the sake of
understanding, without trying to
interject our own ideas of
troubleshooting or problem solving, can
seem unnatural. Try these baby steps
below to get you moving (and listening)
in the right direction!
Seek First to Understand!
