Syed, Great point. Questions are really important, and as you said there are open ended, and close ended questions. Both of them have a different goal. I’ll write about it on my next post. Stay tuned..

Rajender, My first guess is check out the 3-minute-leadership section of the site, there’s a lot of tips there for you to explore. My first advice would be, ask yourself what do you want? after knowing that you’ll find your way. Thanks for asking.

Tameemuddin, I agree with you, listening is not the only skill / ability you need to foster in order to understand others, but probably is one of the most important skills. Empathy is probably another skill you need to work on to understand others as well.

Manju, you’re welcome. In fact, I have to thank you for stopping by and reading the post.

Remember, the goal of the website is to expand the knowledge about leadership. There’s a lot of leadership theory on the site as well, I feel privileged for having the chance to share my vision with you, as well as I nurture mine with your comments and impressions.

Remember my friends,

Be Alert, Be A Leader

– Ken

taking notes actually help in understanding the subject,besides listenning skill.leadreship does not mean to understand another person through listenning only.

Very very imortant technique–Writing really helps in listening and understanding—I would like to add another area in it and that is being prepared for the right QUESTIONING —Questions can be framed in adavance in the light of various types of questions such as Open ended or closed ended, loaded questions ,mirror questions , laundry list questions,hypothetical questions , etc .Also listener should also have the ability to help the other person come back on the track again
