    4. Listen to Understand<\/h3>\n

    It\u2019s not about listening to decide when to chime in with your own opinion, it\u2019s about listening to ACTUALLY understand. Leaders should practice\u00a0active listening<\/a>, and make sure they\u2019re not interrupting people during meetings or 1:1s. Try these two questions to listen to understand: \u201cTell me more\u201d and \u201cHelp me understand.\u201d These questions open the door for others to share their perspective, without feeling like they\u2019re being undermined or doubted.<\/p>\n

    5. Think About Your Thinking<\/h3>\n

    Servant leaders evaluate how they think about messages, situations, behaviors that they experience. Is input or feedback received in a negative way or as a positive opportunity for improvement? The trick is to differentiate between useful thoughts and non-useful thoughts, and re-frame negative beliefs. For example, don\u2019t use absolutes like \u201calways\u201d and \u201cnever\u201d when describing situations or behaviors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
