Thanks for this. Makes me think of my previous supervisor, the absolute worst boss I've ever had. His biggest fault: he listened waiting to respond, even if you weren't done talking yet he seemed to have "the answer" nearly bursting from his face. Was a real jerk too. Make me think of this and whether or not I really listen sometimes.

I totally understand your feelings Ryan. I have been in situations even with colleagues and peers where this stuff happens. And to be honest, I have been that person who also blurts things out. I think we all have it when we have strong emotions to something, and that doesn't make us bad. We should look at this as an opportunity though. Now with being more cognizant we have the ability to actually focus on the message someone wants to provide and we can also dissect it more to understand why and what they are telling you.
