Marinoyt - Tom's saying that it's not good to be an 18 second manager, that he thinks you are and that you should reflect on that and make a change by listening more.

I will start that "Tom`s MBA Progam". I will require from every student-to-be at my "UNIVERSIDAD EMPRESARIAL" to have read and understood at least three Tom Peters books.

Hilarious how people think they are talking to Tom when they are actually commenting on some random guy's YouTube video in his playlist.

Active listening and strategic listening are so important, not just in business but in life. I try and work on this daily but often forget, it's not about hearing, it's about listening. Thanks Tom.
