Listen to the conversation.
Take in what’s really going on.
Make people feel like they’re being heard.
Some of the 12 Influencers and Innovators we interviewed for this issue focused on this kind of advice.
You might be surprised to hear that. You’d think that influencers and innovators would do all the talking, and we would do all the listening. But the most successful leaders have learned that the opposite is true.
Some highlights of the interviews: “Thinking about what hasn’t been discovered becomes difficult if you’re not listening to the conversation.” – Dr. Pamela Padilla
“My goal is to do better every day.”
– Dr. Dhruvangkumar Modi
“We have high internal expectations.”
– Ross Hodge
“I just want to fill a need; that’s probably the best way to describe my own goal.”
– Dr. Hope Garcia
“I think the power of collaboration can never be underestimated.” – Gary Henderson
Let’s add one more quote, not from a Denton County resident but from Ted Lasso, protagonist of the now-famous, award-winning TV show:
“Be curious, not judgmental.”
Let’s influence and innovate right here in Denton County to make life here all the better.
