1 Listening Annotated Bibliography Baker, Edward; Dunne-Moses, Abigail; Calarco, Allan; Gilkey, Roderick. "Listening to understand: a core leadership skill." Journal of Public Health Management and Practice2019.https://journals.lww.com/jphmp/fulltext/2019/09000/listening_to_underst and__a_core_leadership_skill.13.aspx. The article mentions Sigmund Freud, who was an Austrian neurologist, describing his term of “even hovering attention," which means managing one's attention by neither under focusing (being distracted) nor hyperfocusing (paying attention to the wrong details). The article describes the components and benefits of effective listening, the obstacles to effective listening, ways to overcome these obstacles, and tips for effective listening. The part that was fascinating about the article is where it states that the dominant mode of conversation is telling, not asking. This is true as most people just sit and listen to what they are told and they rarely ask questions. This makes it ineffective listening according to this source. The best quote found is “Seek first to understand and then to be understood”(Covey 509). I agree with the author about the reflecting part where one must take a step back and review what has been said for them to understand a better way. I want to practice reflecting on what speakers say, to help me understand and relate better to what they were saying. Iwankovitsch, Ron. "The importance of listening." Language Arts Journal of Michigan, 2001.https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1314&cont ext=lajm. This short article was published through the Language Arts Journal of 2 Michigan that focuses on literacy and English language arts education. The article mentions Paul T. Rankin, former Supervising Director of Research and Adjustment for the Detroit Public Schools, who conducted a survey that found out that the average person spends 9% of his time writing, 16% reading, 30% speaking, and almost half, 45%, listening. The article gives three benefits of good listening which are benefits to the individual, to the business, and family and friends. Good listening encourages and builds healthy relationships among friends, family, and in business. What was fascinating about the article is that listening is a major problem, for most people. From the article, about 60% of misunderstandings in the business world can be traced to poor listening. This is true because when employers don't listen to employee grievances, the place will stop being productive. A major quote is, “To listen with a purpose requires an inner strength and the courage to open our minds to other people's ideas, while at the same time we must face up to the fact that some of our ideas may be wrong(5-6)." I agree with the author that good listening builds relationships among family, friends, and even in business. I want to improve my listening and my approach to positive feedback by staying on the same massage. Nichols, Ralph G., and Leonard, Stevens. "Listening to people." Harvard Business Review (1957). https://hbr.org/1957/09/listening-to-people. The authors offer insight into how listening affects us, they give examples of top executives who took a survey to understand how listening affects their work. These top executives realized that most failures resulted from failure to listen to someone, and thus they realized listening was the most important aspect of communication in their companies. According to the 3 article, listening as a skill has been neglected and other aspects of communication such as reading, writing, and speaking have been emphasized. The article also offers insight on the ways to lead to listening improvement. The article also talks about listening for ideas and also gives the benefits of better listening. What was fascinating about the article is the part where the authors say that most people assume that "bright" people listen better than "dull" people. Anyone can be a poor listener despite their intelligence level. The best quote in the article, in the first paragraph, is "I've been thinking back about things that have gone wrong over the past couple of years, and I suddenly realized that many of the troubles have resulted from someone not hearing something, or getting it in a distorted way" (Nichols& Leonard). Yes, I agree with the author that listening is as important as reading and writing and should be part of the instruction taught in schools. This article will help me practice listening to other people better and aiming to listen to their ideas. Popova, Maria. “Erich Fromm’s 6 Rules of Listening: The Great Humanistic Philosopher and Psychologist on the Art of Unselfish Understanding.” Brainpickings. https://www.brainpickings.org/2017/04/05/erich-fromm-the-art-of-listening/. The article focuses on Erich Fromm's 6 rules of listening which are the full concentration of the listener, free from anxiety, freely-working imagination, feeling the experience, and Understanding and loving are inseparable. Erich Fromm was a German social psychologist, psychoanalysis, and humanistic philosopher. The article focuses on the six guidelines of unselfish understanding as offered by Fromm. What was fascinating 4 about the article is the point by Fromm which states that to master unselfish understanding, nothing of importance must be on the individual's mind. This means that for one to master the art of listening one must not have other important thoughts at the time of listening. The best quote in the article was "An experience makes its appearance only when it is being said" (Arendt). I agree with the author that Fromm's six guidelines are the most important tips for effective listening. I can practice using Fromm's six guidelines to help improve my listening skills. Spataro, Sandra E., and Janel Bloch. “”Can you repeat that?” Teaching active listening in management education." Journal of Management Education 42.2 (2018): 168-198. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1052562917748696. The authors of the article concentrate the article on active listening. The article talks about active listening and its importance in management education. Active listening goes beyond simple or passive listening and is intended to give the speaker full attention through asking questions, reflecting on what the speaker says, and showing respect and empathy for the speaker. The reading was fascinating in that active listening is listed as a job qualification in over 17,000 job postings on indeed.com, a job search website. The best quote is, "It may be a coincidence that silent and listening contain the same letters," (Sandra & Bloch, 170). I agree with the author that active listening is one of the most critical communication skills in management education and also in other aspects of life. This article can help me to practice active listening and help me to eliminate passive listening, which I find myself doing at times. 5 Zenger, Jack, and Joseph Folkman. "What Great Listeners Actually Do" Harvard Business Review,2016. https://hbr.org/2016/07/what-great-listeners-actually-do. Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman argue that good listeners must provide constructive feedback and that the conversation must be two-way. The article offers an in-depth review of the six levels of listening which are creating a safe environment, staying away from distractions, understanding what prison is saying, observes nonverbal communications, understands the other person feeling, and starts asking questions. The mind-blowing part of the reading is where the authors claim that just sitting and absorbing all that is said like a sponge is not good listening. There must be feedback, questions must be asked. I agree with the article since listening without asking questions would mean you understood all that was said, and which is not usually the case. I want to practice on two-way conversations by trying to listen carefully and understand what the person in front of me is talking about, then I ask some questions to be fully understood. That will help me become a better and effective listener.

POST 2
Consequently, according to the articles, among the two significant practical pieces of
advice include; anybody can have poor listener skills despite their intelligence and understanding
level. Regarding listening, an experience always makes a listening appearance when it is being
recognized and said (Baker, Edward, Calarco, Allan, 2019, et al.). Besides the one central
