Do good questions lead to good listening? Does good listening lead to good questions? What are good questions? How do they facilitate good listening? Do answers lead to focused listening?
What is good listening? What is not good listening? Does good listening require intention and attention? Does it require a focus on the speaker, not the listener?
“Don’t listen to the person who has the answers; listen to the person who has the questions.”–Albert Einstein
Is being a good listener a matter of learning listening skills? Is it a matter of the proper mindset? Could it be that listening skills can enhance listening when used with a good listening mindset? What are the key components of good listening?
How can the speaker facilitate good listening? Do speakers sometimes foster poor listening?
Are you a good listener? What makes you a good listener? How do you assess the listening skills and focus of others? Are you distracted by those who show obvious poor listening skills? Can you tell when a listener is not focused on the speaker? Do you listen more intently to the question or to the answer?
