Answer 1

Yes that's what teamwork is all about, collaborating and listening to what others have to say. If you talk to much your a hog, if you just listen and write down the answers your a log. Either way you teamwork skills need to be fixed, because many people will take advantage of a hog, and others will never pair up with logs. So take the time to listen to others, and if that answer doesn't suit your standard, either suggest a new one, or follow you own path. That does not mean leaving the group mearly compromising with something that you think best suits the question, concern, problem, conflict etc.  

Answer 2

Absolutely.  Listening is learning. If you are narrow minded to get nowhere!

Answer 3

Of course! You have to listen and think about everything. If you're not giving the opposition a chance, don't you think your teammates might think that you won't give them a chance?

Be fair, and do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
