Why You Should Be Defenseless

"I absolutely believe that people, unless coached, never reach their maximum capabilities."

- Bob Nardelli, CEO Home Depot

"The most expensive thing a person can own is a closed mind." - Don Hutton

From Seth Godin:

The opposite of 'defenseless'  

It might be defended, or defensive.

If you're asking for feedback or coaching or an education, neither of the above are going to help you very much.

The person who has ideas that are well defended isn't going to be able to listen carefully for the lessons that can help him change those ideas.

And the person who is defensive not only won't hear the ideas, but he'll push away anyone generous enough to share them.

Defenseless is the best choice for those seeking to grow.

All the best, 

Rick Wallace
