Hearing and actively trying to understand what someone says
In any interaction, listening makes you better:
- Better informed: so, you can make better decisions.
- Better aware: of what others mean, not just what they say.
- Better perceived: others feel appreciative they were heard.
- Better at speaking: if you want people to listen, you must know how to do so yourself.
- Better at leadership: feeling they’re truly being heard motivates your team.
A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something. (Wilson Mizner)
