I was teaching a Management Course for the last four weeks now and everyone agreed that we could do better in the area of active listening. Listening is a under-developed skill for the majority of professionals and managers. We always have to have a say when simply the answer can be found in listening with intentions. 80% of conflicts and misunderstandings can be prevented and resolved by simply listening with the heart and mind together. We do not have to win every argument or be the last one to say something marvelous. We don't need to be 'the smartest person' in the room either. We don't need to boost our ego for senseless showmanship. I heard one person talked about using 'verbal judo' in dealing with difficult people. I would say, try the active listening jujitsu first and see the difference. If this article resonates with you, please share this with your colleagues and networks.
