"Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much. -Robert Greenleaf In a recent post, we talked about why you might be undervaluing your listening skills, and how that’s costing you.

If you take that question seriously, the answers you get are often very different from the kinds of organizations and groups we know today."

The very process of formulating our core beliefs, so that we can express them to others, will help us better understand ourselves. Suspending judgment, suspending assumptions, and listening to others express their core beliefs will give us new ways of understanding our ourselves.
