Great leaders are great communicators but most of all they have  to be a great listener . 
Everyone love to talk , in fact most have a tendency of thinking what to answer while
Someone talking to them instead of listening. 
So Listening  and not interrupting when someone talk is the greatest gift of all. I personally
Am a  great listener, I can listen for hours if someone want to talk to me. 
Sometimes I take notes of some Important  things not to forget to talk about it or to answer
If that comes in a form of question. Some people want you just to listen to
Them what they wanted to say not necessarily wanted advice or answer from 
you . They Just want to let it out to feel better, and you have to have that sense 
of  Knowledge to know the difference , I learn that over the years of practice.
Practice, practice and more practice. We are not born with it. We are born 
To talk, to talk anything don’t need that much of a practice unless we wanted to
Be a public speaker, teacher, and some other required position.
But to be listener, a great listener  you have to practice. The way it has been 
Said, Be slow to speak but Fast and patient to listen.
Especially when you are involving  in this kind of business witch make you
Involve with different cultural back ground people you have to be able to 
Communicate and understand their situation by listening patiently and calmly , 
all this come By practice . Try to listen some motivational recordings, or your 
choice of  what you wanted to listen not music though , only speaking words 
for 10 to 15 minutes without interruption or when some one talking to you 
just listen Without interrupt the person even if you get  tempted to jump in.
Just practice, you will be a great listener.
