Many people think they are good listeners but truth is that they are not. They are simply good hearers. Any listening that's done with the intention of what to respond back cannot be good listening.
A good listener not only hears what's said, they also hear whats not said.
Thank you for this interesting topic.
Good listeners don't like to engage in any conversation simply because they want to be heard.
They will only engage when they think the opposition has got something wrong.
And they will clearly apologize if he/she has got something wrong too.
