Question

One survey of top-level North American executives revealed that ________ believe listening is one of the most important skills needed in the corporate environment.

Answer 1

Answer:

People/audience

Explanation:

It has become normal that educated people tend to speak more than to listen to others; executives are prone to speak more and more, thinking they have a n aim to promote. In corporate milieu, intelligent executives are smart enough to read others' mind. Hence, they turned good speakers to present their views, but they hardly tend to listen to other views. There is a competition in showing off or presenting skills rather than taking intakes of others' views and opinion. Most of the time, a sense of over confidence works which not only allows executives to be active speakers but also passive listeners since, in their views, they 'know' what the other is going to say. As for students, listening becomes boring, so is the case with people in the corporate environment.
