Quite the opposite, in fact. I am listening and disagreeing. I don't want you to agree with me, you do. I listen and form my opinion. It is exactly what I was talking about. To you, listening means the listener agreeing with you. To me, it is the listener understanding your point, which I do. And I believe you are very wrong. If you come into a conversation expecting other people to "listen" the way that you intend (i.e., agreeing with you), you'll often be unsatisfied. Now (I am empathetic here, wearing my manager's hat), it may very well be that I am wrong here (I am not), and surely I believe you have great potential (who knows) and the company needs people like you (whatever that means). We'll continue this conversation at the our next 1:1.
