Anyone who doesn't hear what is going on around them shouldn't be a leader.

Makes Me Wish I Had The Figures On That,
Because I'd Bet: "Less Than 50% Actually Pay Much Attention",
Because They're Too Busy Thinking Of What They'll Say Next..

The phrase "For them who have ears to hear" or variations of it, commonly appears in the New Testament of the Bible. One of the most direct references can be found in:

Matthew 11:15: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."


Similar phrases are also seen in other parts of the Gospels:

Matthew 13:9: "He who has ears, let him hear."
Mark 4:9: "And He said to them, 'He who has ears to hear, let him hear!'"
Luke 8:8: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
Luke 14:35: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."


These sayings are often used by Jesus in parables to emphasize the importance of understanding and heeding His teachings. The phrase underscores the idea that understanding spiritual truths requires not just physical hearing but a willingness to comprehend and act upon what is heard.
