I especially discover #three and #four to be at the ‘heart’ of getting to understand the diversity and totally different personalities. If I may, with respect, add the skill set of ‘listening’, more than talking. As Covey so well instructed, “search first to understand, then to be understood”. And Carnegie, “be interested, more than being attention-grabbing” (paraphrased). Thank you, in your wisdom and sharing it so willingly. Thanks Steve â€" that timeless knowledge is a great addition.
