- jesperlang 9y agoWho decided the quality of the idea? You are acting as if quality is an objective / unbiased concept. That's especially not to so in the tech industry. Listening means actively and with interest and curiosity taking in someone's idea being presented. Your sentence doesn't make sense, you stop listening as soon as the quality of someone's idea goes down?
