The concept of broad listening is a technique that assists in listening to the opinions of many people.
Being able to summarize the main points makes it easier to handle large numbers of opinions.
When you can handle diverse opinions, you can move away from a localized view and see things more broadly.
Feeling that the opinions based on them have come back to you gives you a sense that your opinion has been heard.
In broad listening, it is important to hear from at least as many people as possible.
However, when the number of people and the volume of opinions is too large, it is practically difficult to deal with each person's opinion.
Hence, there is little need to read 100% of everyone's opinions, but to summarize what is common and to listen to the least important opinions.
The next thing to do is to learn practical methods of broad listening.
