"I used to be like you, Rudi," Andi said. "But then I realized that everyone has their own perspective and way of communicating. I started to make an effort to understand where they're coming from, and it's made a huge difference."
Andi suggested that Rudi try active listening and ask open-ended questions to encourage his coworkers to share their thoughts. Rudi took Andi's advice and started to make a conscious effort to understand his colleagues better.
As Rudi's understanding and empathy grew, so did his ability to communicate effectively. He became a more approachable and supportive team member, and his coworkers began to appreciate his efforts.
