Communication

Communication In today’s fast paced world we could all benefit from being better listeners. It seems most of our communication problems come from misinterpreting information. Some of the bad listening habits we seen to have include fraudulent and monopolistic listening. Also while we are supposed to be listening we sometimes complete, avoid, or attack before all the information has been presented. For whatever reasons many of us will nod and give the appearance of someone who is taking in the information given, when in fact we are listening at all. Although the fraudulent listeners may be hearing the information he/she is not putting forth the effort to comprehend and remember what it is he/she is hearing. Monopolistic listeners only want you to listen to them. They tend to be obsessed with their own thoughts and ideas and have no interest in anyone else’s. An interesting fact from the text states that men in male/female conversations initiated 94% of interruptions. These are two examples of ineffective listening that most people could benefit from improving on.
