Art of Listening by Jesse Cannone & Rob Berkley, One of Most Vital Communication Skills to Develop: A truism in history is that the most successful leaders and politicians are able to connect with people, and one of the skills that allows them to do the Art of Listening. And not only listening but taking in what one is hearing, responding with constructive feedback or just a conversation that shows one cares and is engaged in the conversation.
