I May Not Agree With You

I May Not Agree With You

“I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend the

death your right to say it.”

Evelyn Beatrice Hall, 1868 – 1919, English Writer

As I see it . . . . . . .

I may not agree with you

I may not agree with you . . . . but you have a right to say it.

As a business professional I may or may not agree with what you’re saying . . . . But it’s my role to listen to what you’re saying . . . . and to understand why your saying it.

Effective communications is an essential business skill in the exchange of information in a successful business relationship.

In order to influence a person that you agree or disagree with to have to proactively listen to them . . . .  and hear them out . . . .  To understand where they’re coming from and how strong their opinions are.

For the other person to listen to you they have to trust you . . . . and there has to be mutual respect and rapport in the business relationship. With it the person will listen to you and with facts you will have the ability to influence them.

Without it there is very little likely hood that they will listen to you or take your advice.

I may not agree with you . . . . Remember the other person as the right to their opinion. Your role is to hear them out and to understand where they’re coming from . . . . what they’re say . . . . and why. Build your relationship with the person that they will listen to you and accept your advice.
