EFFECTIVE LISTENING
At my former workplace, when my boss was explaining to me a new strategy which had
been suggested in the meeting by the CEO. The strategy was essential to the firm as its
implementation was expected to improve the work output. Since I wasn't keen to the detail, I
went on and implemented the strategy wrongly so when the evaluation was done a week after
they realized the output was not as they expected because it was executed incorrectly. All of
these was caused because I was distracted thinking about the invite I was to send for my birthday
party. My lousy listening skills did cost me a job in my dream firm.
After that incidence, I learned that listening is an essential skill in communication and if
it is ineffective much is lost. There are a few habits I have adopted to improve these skills to start
with noting down critical points of what being communicated hence I cannot get distracted. Also,
I have learned to be entirely at the moment of listening by finishing up with what might distract
me. Another way to improve listening performance is being actively involved by asking
questions.
