• encourage everyone, who is interested and willing, to participate.
• listen to everyone's ideas, even if I don't agree.
• try to understand all sides of an issue.
• seek the best answer to a question rather than try to convince others.
• try not to let my previous ideas or prejudices interfere with my thinking.
• listen carefully to the points that others make.
• stick to the subject.
• avoid overly long stories, anecdotes, or examples.
• provide encouragement and approval to others.
• be sympathetic and understanding of other's views.
