Independent Writing:
The best leader should spend more time listening to other people’s ideas than taking his/her own ideas.
History remembers great leaders—kings, presidents, CEOs, and the like—largely for the decisions they make. However, what we often forget is that these decisions are rarely made alone—leaders will often rely on the help of others when weighing their options. While some leaders may prefer to make decisions alone, I think the most effective ones will involve others in the decision-making process.
