Please share your favourite management development insight or quote.

I do not know if you have ever examined how you listen;
it doesn't matter to what,
whether to a bird, to the wind in the leaves, to the rushing waters,
or how you listen in a dialogue with yourself,
to your conversation in various relationships with your intimate friends, your wife or husband . . .

If we try to listen we find it extraordinarily difficult,
because we are always projecting our opinions and ideas,
our prejudices, our background, our inclinations, our impulses;
when they dominate we hardly listen at all to what is being said . . .

In that state there is no value at all.
One listens and therefore learns,
only in a state of attention, a state of silence,
in which this whole background is in abeyance, is quiet;
then, it seems to me,
it is possible to communicate . . .

Real communication can only take place where there is silence.

(Krishnamurti, Talks and Dialogues )
