Learn To Be The Last To Speak

We have widely heard that it is good to be a listener.  To be precise, we suggest it would be better to learn to be the last to speak.  Even the famous leader in the world, they realize the matter of something, they will still invite the opinions from others after saying their standing points. Why? There are many reasons.  You can get the advantages inside a meeting in workplace or within your personal circle as well.  Let’s look what you gain from being the last to speak. 

Why Being the Last to Speak? 

• Other people feel their contribution have been heard and valued

• Everyone’s ideas are being delivered and you only express your opinions after analyzing theirs.

• You have the chance of knowing the points of views from many people and clarify those differences from you.

• Be the last to say your views meaning you are patient enough to listen and pay attention to others.

• You have enough time to organize your ideas and put them into persuasive points in speech.

• You can adjust any previous ideas with the inputs from others.

• In some circumstances, the success of something depends on the support of others.  When you can wrap things up by blending all the good ideas from others with your own thoughts, you can easily obtain the vast support with a final and better idea at last.

• Obviously, when people have the opportunity of saying their wants or views, you are granted the position of providing the solutions they may need.  All wants “a result”.  And the possibility of achieving a compromise in an issue is higher.

• Being the last to speak can give you a chance of giving conclusion of something you tend to say.  You are standing at a better position for negotiation.

Whether we can deal with people successfully, there is always a need to transform the old mind into a new idea that can cater for you and the other person simultaneously.  This is a relation and the skills we should improve for ourselves or others.
