How are listening skills important to employees, supervisors, and executives? Who should have the best listening skills?

                      Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

             Listening is a great complex phenomenon, which looks like a passive activity at the first sign.  There are some different kinds of listening. If fact, we can pretend to listen but at the same moment we can dream about something which is not related to the subject of talking. We also can listen by “half an ear". Most of the time that is exactly what we do. If we listen carefully, we learn many interesting things. Listening to others is a great talent. Someone who hears people will understand you, understand your needs and help solve your problems. The man who knows how to listen can resolve the conflict among other people at work place because he knows how to listen to everyone... The listener, which can analyze is the ideal leader, able to see the need of the company and find ways to solve a crisis because he has information. Than more liability does someone have at work than more carefully this person should listen to his co-workers, clients, and partners.  By listening you get the most expensive and valuable things. Practice and improve your listening skills, analyze that information you got and you will see how much you can get just simply being a good listener.
