EFFECTVE LISTENING

In any type of communication involves some type of noise. When someone is talking with you, you might have a tendency to start evaluating and making value judgments. This gets in the way of fully understanding the information that the other person is communicating. Effective listening involves clearing your mind and fully concentrating on what is being said. In addition, you respond in a manner that lets the other person know that their message was heard and understood. In a project setting, effective listening insures that goals and objectives or the project are understood and acted upon.
