Accepting advice from other people is not easy, for it means admitting that one’s own decision is not good enough. Why does it matter? Proverbs say: “Whatever a man does is right in his own eyes.” We seldom admit our shortcomings, and it is the nature of human beings. Experience tells me that it is more difficult for leaders to accept advice. It has been years since I became a school principal. Things are no longer the same as when I first took office. The more comfortable I feel making decisions, the less willing I am to listen to my colleagues. I found that I became impatient with my colleagues’ explanations, and more often, I interrupted my colleagues’ advice. The more confident I am, the less patient I am to listen. There have been wise sayings earnestly exhorting leaders to listen to advice. Not because the leaders are not smart enough, but no matter how smart a person is, they can only make decisions from a sole perspective. A metaphor can well describe why wise men are always willing to listen to advice: “Stay lower to get more water.” “The godly offer good counsel－Psalm 37:30,” Why not open to the advice of godly men? There is no harm.
