Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of leaders being open and receptive to the opinions and ideas of others. A leader who is dismissive and unreceptive to different perspectives will inevitably create an environment where individuals hesitate to contribute or share meaningful insights. By choosing not to listen, leaders limit their own growth and their ability to make informed decisions, potentially missing out on valuable contributions from others. The quote serves as a reminder that effective leadership involves fostering an environment where all voices are acknowledged and valued.

There were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity.
