Only people have the ability to listen, understand, and have empathy for others. Making decisions and other cognitive functions are other examples. We need to have more gratitude and less attitude. Be open to change and to conversations especially when there are differences in opinions. Surround yourself with talented people. Ask questions and learn from others. Know your talents and apply them.  "Robots can perform tasks and can do some miraculous things. But they can't replace our cognitive thinking, human engagement, and interaction." —  Donna Loughlin See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I  Connect with Donna Loughlin:  Website: https://www.lmgpr.com/Podcast: https://www.beforeithappened.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/theBIHpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/befo....reithappenedshow/Lin https://www.linkedin.com/in/donnal2/  Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channe....l/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmE https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Missi....onFacilitators/Email dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
