LISTEN
A common fault, as people gain more authority, is a lack of patience in listening to those under them. A deaf ear is the first symptom of a closed mind. The higher people go in management and the more authority they wield, the less they are forced to listen to others. Yet their need to listen is greater than ever. The farther they get from the firing line, the more they have to depend on others, for correct information. If they haven't formed the habit of listening - carefully and intelligently - they aren't going to get the facts they need. There's another good reason for listening carefully, especially to subordinates. They want to talk to you about their effectiveness and job satisfaction to know that you are really listening, not just going through the motions.
