"My mother used to say that there are no strangers, only
friends you haven't met yet." --Dame Edna Everage

Leaders are truly interested in others
They give people their concern and care
Leaders enjoy being (not just having) friends

"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."
--Dale Carnegie

10 SECOND REALITY CHECK
How interested are you in others?
Do you ask more about them, or tell more about you?
Do you truly enjoy listening to your friends?

"All people want is someone to listen."
--Hugh Elliott

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...
People care about those who care for them Sincere listening tells people how much you care without you having to say a word...
Listening is EASY; you just close your mouth and open your ears!

SO WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
Listen intently when your friends talk to you Ask about their family, friends, work, and life Enjoy what you hear!

"We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them." --Thucydides

Have a Friendly Week!
