Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

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.

Nah, I think influence is more about persuasion, not listening.

Wait, so rapport isn’t included? That seems off.

I thought I read somewhere that hearing and interpreting are the core parts of active listening, so C seems right to me, but I could be wrong.

I feel like influence is more about persuasion rather than listening. I might lean towards C, but I can't shake the feeling that rapport is important too.

I remember practicing active listening in class, and rapport was emphasized a lot. Could it be B since it includes that?

I think active listening definitely involves hearing and interpreting, so maybe it's C? But I'm not entirely sure.

I've got a good handle on active listening, so I think I can narrow this down. Rapport and influence are key negotiation skills, so that's my best guess.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The answer choices seem to cover a lot of ground, and I want to make sure I really understand what active listening entails in a negotiation.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the key elements of active listening in a negotiation context.

Okay, let's see. Hearing and interpreting seem like obvious ones, but rapport and influence are also important in negotiations. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question, but I want to make sure I have the details right. I'll review my notes on the Provisioning IVR profile and the different components it interacts with to ensure I select the correct answer.

Ah, I've got this! The Scrum Guide is clear that a Scrum Team must have a Product Owner and Scrum Master, so A is the correct answer.
