Points discussed in this habit have been discussed in past also . During our 2nd and 3rd habit we all have discussed about the importance of Listening . But during the discussion of 5th habit this point was explained in a much simpler and better way. Listen Empathetically clearly makes us realise the importance of pure listening .
Listen Empathetically ------ Each one us would have faced such situation in life where we felt that we should be a good listener for a proper, clear and successful communication .
We all should share our personal example about the time we realised at any point of time that due to our poor listening habit the communication was not clear and the situation became more worse .
is habit have been discussed in past also .
Many a times I have come accross dreadly consequences of poor listening. It happens when we do selective listening and when there is internal and external barriers to listening.
ReplyDeleteSeek First to Understand, Then to be understood, a very important and relvant thing that will help us sort out day to day hassles and also improve quality of our communications with others.
It invloves patience listening without preconceived notions about a particular topic.
It empahsizes Empathically listening to the person who is talking to us.
Again this was very interesting and interactive session; at any phase of our life we should always try to understand others rather than having an expectation that others should always understand us first
ReplyDeleteCommunication is most important factor for having healthy relation with others. We always count how much others are listening to us and never paid much attention towards what others expect from us.
We always seek to Take than to Give
Most of the time when we are listening to others either we are pretending, ignoring or doing attentive listening which we should avoid and practice Empathic Listening which is highest form of listening, which is only possible by spending time with them. Empathic listening is helpful for both listener and speaker as it helps to build the relation stronger and both feel good psychologically
During the conversation two persons or the group interacting with each other can easily make out that what kind of conversation they had ….. and if there is lack of empathic listening it affects the relationship …
“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”
