The Power of the Other: The startling effect other people have on you, from the boardroom to the bedroom and beyond-and what to do about it

Good, caring people can be perceived wrongly by others simply because a connection has not been made. As a leader, a spouse, a colleague, and a parent, take time to ask yourself: Have I shown the people I want to have a Corner Four relationship with that I truly am listening, that I understand them? And, before you invest your trust in someone else, ask yourself if you feel that they are listening and truly understand where you’re coming from.
