Active listening in negotiation includes which of the following activities?

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.
