Fast Company Article
The current issue of Fast Company has a disturbing article by Marshall Goldsmith titled The One Skill that Separates. Basically, the article follows the old saying of how to differentiate between the good and the great. In a conversation, the good will lead you to think they are the smartest person in the room while the great will make you think you are. I have such a long way to go in order to understand the differences.

One key to leading people is the ability to listen, learn from and inspire the people around us. I think that - over a long period of time - we cannot "make people believe" that we are interested in their opinions. I don't think that anyone is "fooled" over time. Leaders with great people skills do two simple things: 1. they care and 2. they show people they care in the way that they act.

Thank you Marshal for commenting. I should have said I have a long way to get good at being great.
