"Écouter est une attitude du cœur, un désir authentique d'être avec l'autre qui attire et guérit à la fois." J. Isham. Lorsqu'un conflit apparaît, il est le plus souvent le fruit d'un malentendu, c'est à dire un "mal exprimé" et un "mal écouté". Nous sommes souvent plus habiles à dire leurs quatre vérités aux autres qu'à leur exprimer simplement la vérité de ce qui se passe en nous. Nous n'avons d'ailleurs pas appris à tenter de comprendre ce qui se passe en eux. Finalement, nous avons appris à nous couper de nous-mêmes pour être avec les autres.

We must understand and use our power to have impact, and pioneering researchers Julie Battilana and Tiziana Casciaro provide the playbook for doing so in Power, for All.
