• We listen for what we think is important and, therefore ignore or don't hear what may be critical for success.
• Strong leaders often focus on solving the problem quickly
• What we listen for is controlled by the neural pathways in our brain.

Key Takeaways:

• To be successful changing what you listen for, you must believe it is the right thing to do and make a commitment to do it.
• When you practice, you build new neural pathways resulting in new habitual behavior,
• Successful leaders play a variety of roles. Each of those roles requires the leader to listen for different things.
