Answer to Question 1

Answer: Content listening focuses on understanding and retaining what the speaker is saying. Critical listening, in contrast, is often more useful when the speaker is presenting an argument. In this type of listening, the listener's goal is to evaluate the message on various levels. Finally, empathic listening is most useful when a speaker is primarily interested in sharing feelings. In this case, the listener's goal is to appreciate the speaker's point of view (whether or not the listener agrees with it).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Effective listening strengthens organizational relationships, alerts an organization to opportunities for innovation, and allows the organization to manage growing diversity both in the workforce and in the customers it serves.
