It is nice reading this, and I do agree with the outlined points because it is applicable to life, too.
Just like reading this post, my response will determine if I had truly read and understood what is said, or I just skipped around.
Listening is very vital when communication is taking place... even when no one is communicating, listening helps us to understand so much(reflection), which is why the bathroom is usually a place where we get to have lots of words running through our minds.
and interrupting while the other person is speaking is annoying...
This is very irritating. I can't be in the same room with someone who can't keep a balance between their mouth and ears. It is an unreasonable thing to do.
Listen, hear, and understand ....
This helps the speaker to be sure they didn't just waste minutes or seconds of their time speaking.
Repeating or summarising....
This part signifies that communication has taken place.
It is always interesting to have conversations with people who have these qualities.
You've clearly had experiences with bad listeners, those who interject and talk over others...how have you handled it and what results did you gain when you
took action?
Yes, I have. The best way I handle them is to let them know what they are doing by showing an example. I take time to teach them and let them know the essence of communication.
It's good when people take those lessons on board, not so good when they don't.
Yeah, it's not so good if they don't.
