You want things and you need things, but Bill knows that there is a much easier way to get what you want than employing trickery, manipulating, or coercing. When you look for ways to hear yes, simply listen for what other people want.

When you listen for and think about what other people want, your proposals will go effortlessly because you will naturally be able to offer them what they are looking for. You’ll spend less time stressing about what you want because you know it will come to you while you are helping people get what they want.

When Bill naturally connects what he wants with what other people want, everything works out. That’s the way to pass the baton and the way to be an inspiring, natural leader.
