Have you heard this one? The bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
The
lady sitting in front of them ignores them at first, but her attention
is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:
As we remember the civil rights leader and Nobel Peace prize laureate Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday, his "I have a dream" oratory still rings in our ears. But few of us know that King was also a consummate listener; and that in fact his speech made history only once he let go of his scripted remarks, allowed himself to "listen to the listening," and gave voice to his audience's innermost desires. That makes for transcendent leadership.
