How much and to whom do businesspeople listen? 

Your Task. Interview a businessperson about his or her workplace listening. Connect with a worker in your circle of friends, family, and acquaintances; in your campus network; at a prior or current job; or via LinkedIn or Facebook. Come up with questions to ask about listening, such as the following: 

(a) How much active listening do you practice daily? 

(b) To whom do you listen on the job? 

(c) How do you know that others are listening or not listening to you? 

(d) Can you share anecdotes of poor listening that led to negative outcomes? (e) Do you have tips for better listening?
