ravi fieldengineer's blog : key to effective communication
The key to effective communication lies in listening. Far too often, people are so eager to present their ideas and solutions that they don't take the time to understand the perspectives of others. A true discussion can't occur when this happens because both sides are talking without listening.
Legendary host Larry King summed it up perfectly when he said, “I never learned anything while I was talking,” which is an important reminder that to truly understand others, you need to be willing to listen more than you talk. By patiently asking questions and allowing the other person to explain their viewpoint fully, rather than quickly interjecting your opinion, you will gain valuable insights that can help inform any decisions being made. Doing this not only fosters better communication and understanding but also creates solid personal relationships that eventually lead to successful business partnerships.
