Listening is an important aspect of leading a small group. I even mentioned it in a recent post HERE. Actively listening, asking appropriate follow-up questions, noticing body language, and helping people understand the heart of the issue being discussed are all part of facilitating discussion in a small group environment.
If you desire to be a good small group leader, you must work on your listening skills.
Obviously, listening isn’t the only thing that a small group leader needs to be able to do, but I believe that it is a vital skill that group leaders must learn. Check out this video. It’s a great example of somebody who does not really listen, does not ask appropriate questions, offends with statements and questions, and quickly judges based on partial information. Enjoy!
