Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Listening is a hugely important skill in the world of work. It's a key part of effective communication [...].

Regarding active listening, there is a model called 'The SIER Hierarchy of Active Listening'. It details four key stages required for effective listening. As with all models associated with active listening, its purpose is to help the listener be a better, more effective listener who really hears what is being said, connects with the individual with whom they are communicating and builds effective relationships.

The model is a hierarchical model meaning that each stage builds on the stage before it. While the model is sometimes used for training in the sales arena, it is helpful in all walks of life. The stages of the model are: Sensing (including hearing and watching body language), Interpreting, Evaluating and Responding.

What, no option for 'all of the above'? Active listening is a complex skill that involves a lot of different elements. I'd argue you need to do all four to truly be an effective listener in a negotiation.

Haha, influence? Come on, that's more about manipulating the other person, not actually listening to them. I'll go with option C, hearing and interpreting are the core of active listening.

Definitely, building rapport and trying to influence the other person can come later, but first you need to focus on hearing and interpreting.

Yeah, I think active listening is about really hearing what the other person is saying and interpreting their words correctly.

Active listening is all about fully understanding the other person's perspective, so I'd say options 1 and 2 are the correct answer here. Rapport and influence are more about how you respond, not the listening part.

Hearing and interpreting are definitely key components of active listening. But rapport and influence? I'm not so sure about those being part of active listening itself.
