Are You Really Listening? 7 Barriers to Effective Listening

Are You Really Listening? 7 Barriers to Effective Listening | Consultancy Matters | Scoop.it
From www.entrepreneur.com - November 19, 2018 12:25 AM
Being present and really listening to what others have to say takes patience and practice.

CCM Consultancy's insight:

Listening to someone creates engagement! People come away with a sense that what they have to say is important, and more than that, they understand that they are of value. Being present and really listening to what others have to say takes patience and practice, especially if we have listening habits that keep us from hearing and connecting with others.

I honestly feel that the statement made above is very important especially in the technology driven lifestyles we live today. It’s great again to have the technology and the ability to connect with people all over the world via electronic device however with them being present it has also created barriers that we forget we still face like the lack of personality so to say via text message or misinterpretation because it wasn’t said directly. Hope just that paragraph alone helps you better understand the type of person I am and vision I aim to see.

How Becoming A Good Listener Can Make You A Better Leader

How Becoming A Good Listener Can Make You A Better Leader | Consultancy Matters | Scoop.it
From www.forbes.com - October 24, 2017 1:23 AM

Running a business is an inherently emotional experience. Even the most stoic leaders are bound to find themselves becoming invested not only in outcomes, but in people and processes as well.

 

While emotional leadership is often regarded as a liability, lack of personal investment can also bring about negative outcomes.

 

I’ve learned that the best leaders are those who can recognize emotionally-charged situations, rise above the passions of the movement, and maintain a level head. Good leaders are quick to listen and slow to anger.

CCM Consultancy's insight:

Leaders often mistake anger for power and fear for respect. But as we can see readily in the news these days, angry bosses and leaders are rarely effective. Having a good yell may feel cathartic in the moment, but it creates a toxic environment and erodes your standing amongst your team.

Like teaching (educate and pedagogy are etymologically about leading) leading is about listening first. Sometimes asking questions furthers the conversation and understanding of others. They solve their problems.

What does it mean to listen? Listening points to four levels: what we can see and hear, the emotions and thoughts, the sensations and what's wanting to emerge (or not). How much of our listening is directed to each of these four levels? Do we really listen when we speak? Do we listen inwards, outwards, both, or neither? Listening comes from the feminine side of us, specially deep listening. What is needed for a deeper listening? What is all this noise telling us?

Good leaders listens first
