Imagine you work as a project manager for a bridge building company. The city has chosen your company to complete a new bridge to replace one that was built over $100$ years ago and is much too small for the amount of traffic it is expected to handle. Your company bid on this project months ago, so you are happy to have been selected. However, you have just found out that the city has shortened the timeline for the bridge completion by several months. There is no time to waste, so you call a meeting to discuss the timeline with key members of your team, all of who are experienced at their jobs. During this meeting, which style of listening would best lend itself to helping you accomplish your goals?

relational listening

task$-$oriented listening

critical listening

analytical listening
