How it tends to read
The through-line is listening — knowledge acquired by hearing rather than asserting. Strengths commonly noted: Genuinely listens rather than waiting to speak; Retains and transmits what it learns; Connects people through information. The corresponding costs: Absorbs others' opinions as its own; Gossip is an available failure mode; Hesitates to state a position.
