Don’t listen to agree or disagree – just agree to listen

Business should focus on making a difference and not only on making money. And leaders need to listen more than anyone else. Furthermore, money and motivation have nothing to do with each other. Now, if you think these ideas are crazy, then how about this: It does not take a great idea to start a great company. In fact, starting a company based on an idea might actually be a bad idea.

Yes, please do not read this from the angle of whether or not you agree or disagree. Don’t read to agree or disagree. This stifles learning and this is a big challenge in these modern times of constant distraction. Give your full attention to understanding. If you fully understand and you disagree then that is your right. Having understood a different viewpoint, you are entitled to disagree. One has to learn to understand viewpoints with which you don’t agree with. You don’t have to hear what you agree with – what you agree with you know already. What one has to study and learn are viewpoints with which you don’t agree.

Why, how and where

At some point in your life you are going to think about the following 3 questions: Why, how and where? As in, why does your company exist? How does it exist? And, where is it going? Purpose is concerned with why someone or something exists, and specifically, why a business exists. Any business. Especially yours. A value system describes how a company exists. And goals describe where a company is going. Purpose describes what a company, your company, actually does. Values can be thought of as the house rules of an organization – values define the way that you operate. And goals are the milestones you constantly set and aim for.
