Become a Student

Short and sweet today. If you want to hear “well done,” make it your practice to be a learner.

In one of Andy Stanley’s best talks from Drive he used the phrase “become a student, not a critic.” Quoting Al Ries, Andy pointed out that “the next generation product almost never comes from the previous generation (Focus).”

Can I say it? Listen first. Listen intently. Ask questions. Ask more questions. Ask follow up questions. Make summarizing statements.

Become a student if you want to be part of the future.
