In order to have powerful listening skills, you need to listen without judging the other person or mentally criticizing what the other person is saying to you. Understand why they're saying it and what they're asking of you. If you have a negative mind on what the person is saying to you because you don't agree with it, it will affect your listening skills.
From a personal perspective, I have had situations where I am in an argument with someone and all I could think about was my reasoning without listening to the other person's argument because I was blind from my own thoughts. Listening helps you understand someone else's perspective and resolve problems faster than if you weren't listening.
