Effective Listening ● Listening is a major part of being a leader

● Why?

○ The point of being a leader is helping the group reach the designated goal.

● Being a leader cannot be reached without the ability to listen to others.

● Listening also includes allowing other people’s ideas and opinions not only be voiced but to be considered as an approach to the needed goal.

Persuasion ● “Persuasion: the action or fact of persuading someone or of being persuaded to do or believe something”

● The ability to persuade is the ability to get people to do what you want. It is a very useful tool in communicating/arguing, as well as in getting people to support and follow you and your ideas.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwTsZHGQ6FE
