Jack Welch
Real communication is an attitude, an environment. It is the most interactive of all processes. It requires countless hours of eyeball to eyeball, back and forth. It involves more listening than talking.
Jack Welch
Keep learning don't be arrogant by assuming that you know it all, that you have a monopoly on the truth always assume that you can learn something from someone else.
Jack Welch
