For a few months in 2020 I became obsessed with becoming a better listener. What led me to this obsession was that I kept on failing to build a great product and company and after some reflection I figured it was because I was a bad listener. If I had listened better to my customers then I would know what to build and what not to build. If I had listened better during recruiting efforts I would have spotted earlier that X person isn’t a good fit. And so on and so forth.
