Why do we so often fail to connect when speaking with family members, romantic partners, colleagues, or friends? How do emotional reactions get in the way of real communication?

Effective Listening involves not only tuning into others but tuning into ourselves. Listening to what we say and how we say can teach us a lot about ourselves.

Managers and other employees spend more than 40 percent of their time listening to other people but often do it so poorly that the result is misunderstood instructions, misdirected projects, and erroneous actions.

Productive listening skills can help you and your team eliminate distractions and improve your concentration on what is being said, cut through your own listening biases, ask constructive, and get others to listen to you!
