Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
The next important concept in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is:
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
This habit teaches empathetic communication listening with the genuine intention to understand the other person’s thoughts, feelings, and perspective before expressing your own.
Key Ideas
. Most people listen with the intent to reply, not to understand.
. Empathetic listening builds trust, reduces conflict, and opens the door to real influence.
. Once the other person feels understood, they naturally become more open to your viewpoint.
. It transforms communication from debate to collaboration.
