Most Type-A people prefer to
associate with other aggressive, fast-moving Type-A's.
And so it is hard for Type-A's to learn other behaviors.
They have seen so little of that other world. Try to
cultivate relationships with people who are not
Type-A's. Of course, that will mean slowing yourself
down and listening to them in a way that may be new to you.
Even in your relationships
with Type-A people, pay attention to them. Try to listen
to them. Try to understand what is behind their drive to
dominate you and others. The most successful and
creative people have gotten where they are because of their
wide knowledge and extensive personal relationships. In
any contact with another person, ask yourself: What can
I learn from this person? Don't rest content until you
feel you have learned something fromthe interaction with them.
