1. Listening is important because it underpins all positive human relationships and is the key to effective communication, and so that way you don’t misunderstand something or someone.
2. The effects of not listening may lead to misunderstandings, assumptions, accusations and such. It may cause errors in relationships and communication in general. Personally, it would hurt someone’s feelings.
4. If you want to listen to someone properly, make yourself aware of paying attention to them. Provide them with feedback, nod your head, and respond appropriately.
