Let me ask you here, do you spend most of your days talking about other people? I mean, we live in a world where so many people love to gossip. I sometimes see people, maybe it’s, I’m in a coffee shop and start listening to people’s conversations because I love being a student, not only of leadership but psychology. And I would actually believe, I think it’s probably the vast majority of people, when you listen to them, they’re saying, “Can you believe what that person did?” In a lot of workplaces, it’s sort of business by gossiping and talking about people who are not there or talking about the customer who just left. But when you look at a victim, it really is a conversation about other people. And when you look at leaders, it’s a conversation about ideas, it’s a conversation about what they’re going to do this next quarter, it’s a conversation about the best book they read, it’s a conversation about getting performance to the next level, it’s a conversation about their ideas, it’s a conversation about their dreams, it’s a conversation about vision. And so I’m going to repeat it again because it’s so fundamentally important. Are you talking about other people as you go through your day and with social media, that’s easier than ever before? Or are you talking about ideas? Are you talking about things of substance? Are you a person of depth? Are you talking about your dreams?
