“… I’m not saying agree with everything; I’m saying listen intently and respectfully.  The people you’re working with need to feel like they are being heard, that you are considering their opinion….  If their ideas are the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard, don’t let on that’s what you think.  Take best part of what they are pitching and build on it, even if it’s the smallest crumb of their idea….”
