listening

Leaders with a strong outward focus are not only good listeners but also good questioners... that was my inspiration to discus listening ..
Listening is the process when you give attention to a sound. When one makes a process to hear something, it means he or she is making an effort to listen. When you listen to something, you must be all ears and stay focused to understand whatever you were hearing. One must be a patient listener. Listening to someone with patience and concentration is not somebodies cup of tea. Active listening is a means of communication to understand, interpret and evaluate what he or she hears. Active listening helps in fostering understanding, reducing conflicts and strengthening cooperation.
