Only in the sports world does having the most “Time of Possession” (amount of time a team controls the ball) usually results in a win. But in the world of communication with others the one who has the most “Time of Possession” (amount of talk time) is usually loosing.
Yes that’s right friends, when attempting to effectively communicate with others we must seek first to understand others by listening before we seek to be understood. We must concede to give the “Time of Possession” over to others and listen intently to uncover and discover their objectives and agenda and then determine if our own mission and objectives suggest that a union or strategic alliance is in-order.
So don’t be afraid to give up the “Time of Possession” during the many seasons of your life because it’s sure to get you a few steps closer to a win-win relationship and outcome with others.
This breadcrumb of wisdom can surely make the difference between you making this life “good” or making this life GREAT! Enjoy…
