An effective person knows how to listen. Listening is not just merely receiving information, it is also and in fact more importantly to be docile to that information. To be docile means to put that information onto action "in acto". The information that we receive should not remain as main words or info instead it should be transformed into a formation. The first step of docility is to accept the information that we receive and take it as our own. Only through this that the information that we have will become a formation.
