37. 10 Listening Skills Be slow to disagree, argue or criticize There is always criticism, argument and disagreement in the workplace. But when you engage in such behavior you cannot hear what the other person is trying to say. With this behavior you continuously try to get your point across and become less of a listener. Skillful listeners will allow others to speak and say what they need to say. Pay special attention to the need for control If two or more people are talking at the same time, there is often a subtle power struggle that happens. When such conversations arise, it is really an exercise in one-upmanship and competition for control. But if you learn to selectively attend to content and emotional tone this will allow you to hear the deeper needs that are expressed by the speaker.

38. 10 Listening Skills Get comfortable with silence Silence is critical to becoming a skillful listener. It is in silence where ideas unfold because people get to think. A listener allows others to discover what they think, feel, want and how one can be of service. In silence, you not only listen to others but you also listen to yourself and discover what it may take to perform more fully. Avoid letting your story take over their story When listening, you often have similar thoughts and experiences that make you want to tell your own stories. You must resist this impulse because it doesn’t work. When you tell your own story, you cut off the speaker and shift the focus away from him. When this happens, you change the mood of the conversation to something worse. By interrupting, you imply that what you have to say is more important, even if this is not what you want to project.

39. 10 Listening Skills Listen for Six Sigma opportunities Six Sigma is a problem solving method for business and organizational performance. It was developed by Bill Smith and Bob Galvin and several other Motorola engineers for quality improvement initiative in the 1980’s. The 5 Six Sigma steps are to define, measure, analyze, improve and control. Always be aware of these opportunities as you listen. Break the “I” habit The word “I” creates problems by always shifting the topic to yourselves. Thus, creating a barrier in learning anything new from conversations. It hinders creative partnership, teamwork and finding new ways to fulfill other’s needs. The word “you “ will open up a new world in conversations that are limited by “I.”

40. 10 Listening Skills Listen for differences In general, people don’t want to hear differences in opinion or way of thinking. Differences make people uncomfortable. Skillful listeners however will try to look for these differences because these differences interest them as it presents the individuality of each and every person. From this process of learning to listen for differences we begin to honor the special uniqueness of each person. Listen with a soft belly When we listen to viewpoints that differ from ours we often tense up and become irritated. Listening with a soft belly is to take slow breaths all the way down into your belly enough to push out all the air. By relaxing during a disturbing conversation it allows us to be open to new and creative solutions.

41. 10 Listening Skills Use intention clarification When in break of a heated discussion, ask the person regarding the intention of their communication? They may not be able to give an answer immediately but after a few minutes they will be able to tell you what. Inquiring about a person’s intention helps them get back on track; they think about it then come up with a response. At the same time, the listener is able to gather thoughts on how to further the discussion. Give up the need to be right Many business conversations end up in head-to-head arguments on who is wrong and who is right. Skillful listeners recognize the benefits of not always having to prove themselves right. The insatiable need of always having to be right creates a fear of being wrong. Skillful listeners initiate, invite and help manage it for themselves and others as skillfully as possible.
