The Listener

     

    The responsibility for listening well is on the listener. To be a good listener you must understand and interpret sound in a meaningful way. Responsible listening is used to give both the speaker and the listener opportunities to explore their feelings and thoughts. A speaker also feels special when someone is listening. When listening, the listener must  maintain silence,focus and should clarify or confirm statements.


    Even if the message is not clear or interesting it is still the job of the listener to listen well and to understand the message fully. When becoming an active listener you will be able to avoid misunderstandings. You will also do things right the first time you hear them when you listen effectively. Problems are solved quicker by being an active listener.
