    The ability to speak does not make you intelligent quote Qui-Gon Jinn Star Wars
    I’ve run across leaders, and you have too, who believe speaking is a sign of their intelligence. You’ve probably also seen these same leaders fail to clearly communicate their directives.

What A Knowledgeable Man Does

You’ve met a knowledgeable person before. You can begin to tell one the moment you start to speak with them.

Verbose words flow from their mouths. Cockiness exudes from their pores.

Something within you is repulsed when you met this type of person.

The knowledgeable man shows off through his words and what he knows. He makes it plain as day that he KNOWS what he’s talking about. And he’s not afraid to show it.
