Let’s not forget: fools can say and do things that provide value—and highly successful people can say and do things that are dumb .
Don’t let your overall perception of a person define how you think about everything they ever say and do.
Accept and challenge each statement and action in its own right—free of your predispositions and past judgements.
Be the person who can admit when they are acting out of character—both in good ways and in bad.
It’s incredibly easy to do the opposite. But, being the person who can admit when a person is acting out of character, may very well be the facilitation they need.
