Flexibility comes from having multiple choices; wisdom comes from having multiple perspectives.
The ability to hear others out is very important. Vital for a good leader. It is much less likely for one person to see all the options and to have experienced multiple perspectives. I put it an imperative on each gathering I am part of, to hear out the perspectives and options. There are no stupid questions, as long as they are not too personal. I also train myself to walk in someone else’s shoes. Go through my what-if list. Try to extend my core beliefs. I guess it helps that my wife studied social psychology and reminds me about the importance of this a lot 🙂 <3.
