I. INTRODUCTION In our approach to Total Quality Management, it is clearly stated that we have to be good communicators to function in a team-based organization. That means we have to be active listeners, that team members and team leaders need to get all the necessary skills to become effective listeners. This booklet is the second of the following series of booklets related to teamwork: - Effective team meeting skills (released October 93) - ACTIVE LISTENING SKILLS - Leaders and members skills - Conflict management skills - Participation facilitation skills - Consensus - Others. Each section will include easy “self-tests” to be completed as a reminder, and to lead the team to an open discussion. You are encouraged to express your own views and opinions, and to explore other possibilities during your team discussion. Answers are not always 100% Yes or No. The purpose of this self-training booklet is to be read, filled in and discussed with team members at the beginning of your team meeting. It should not take more than 30 minutes. The objective of this booklet is simple: to be conscious and aware of having done things correctly or wrongly and to improve, next time, the listening skills. This booklet should be repeatedly used from time to time to help progress. By completing this booklet on Active Listening, you will be able to: - Learn the basics of effective listening skills - Learn to identify and apply good listening behaviors - Understand the importance of good listening skills as applied in the work environment - Learn the causes and reasons for problems and figure out what can be done about them.

II. THE NEED TO LISTEN Listening is the “receiving” part of communication. Nearly half of the communication time is spent on listening. Listening is: 1. Receiving information 2. Understanding 3. Evaluating the message 4. Giving feedback to the speaker Examples of work-related activities which involve listening... - in meetings and briefings - in one-on-one sessions (interviews, performance appraisals) - in giving / receiving instructions - in training and public presentations - in using the telephone - in coaching discussions - in marketing / selling of products - in helping internal / external customers - in supporting other departments Can you name your own work-related activities that involve listening? __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________

7 B. COMMUNICATION TIME

As long as we are familiar with the vocabulary, a normal adult CAN LISTEN without a significant loss of comprehension to as much as 500 WORDS A MINUTE which is faster than any of us speaks except in short bursts and under special and urgent circumstances.

In ordinary, casual conversation, WE STILL SPEAK at a fair clip, a range between 200-300 WORDS, an average of about 250 words per minute, which leaves the listener with about TWICE AS MUCH MENTAL TIME as they need to get the message.

When we address a group or deliver A LECTURE, we usually lower the rate - to about 125 WORDS PER MINUTE. The listener has 4 x THE MENTAL TIME THEY NEED TO GET THE MESSAGE. Thus, a skilled listener will use the extra time to their advantage to enhance and reinforce what they hear, to relate the message to their own experience... to fit into a larger context.

III. LISTENING TECHNIQUES Active Listening leads to effective communication. Effective listeners HEAR and SELECT information from the speaker, give it meaning, determine how the speaker feels about it and respond in a matter of seconds. Only in this way is it possible to frame listening. It requires an ability to LISTEN for FEELINGS as well as words.

A. HEARING THE MESSAGE 1. Listening actively Concentrate for the main theme of the discussion and specific ideas and facts. Be alert and ask questions. Check your posture. Sit up straight and look directly at the speaker.

2. Listen objectively Understand the speaker’s point of view. Put aside your biases (resentments, personal objectives, conflicts, interests, etc.) on a topic.

3. Listen analytically to the presentation Recognize the theme, then the key ideas, the supporting facts and other details.

B. INTERPRETING THE MESSAGE 4. Listen to the sender’s meaning for words Come to a mutual understanding of the speaker’s meaning. Good listeners know that a matchup in meaning is a match-up in understanding.

5. Determine the main points Look for the structure of the message and mentally review the material that has gone before. The main points can come at the beginning, middle or end of a message. Usefulness of the message can be determined through the main points.

6. Understand the non-verbal cues Gestures, facial expression, eyes and postures are non-verbal cues or body languages that either confirm or deny the message of the words and tone of voice. Ask for clarification or repetition if you are not sure of the speaker’s meaning.

Active Listening Skills: Listening Techniques

10 C. EVALUATING THE MESSAGE 7. Listen with empathy and understanding Gather all of the key information before forming an opinion. Weigh and analyze all of the evidences before making a decision. An empathic listener puts himself in the source’s shoes and understands the problem from the sender’s point of view.

8. Suspend judgment Avoid making judgment about the speaker or the message. Understand the speaker’s intent in what he wants to convey. Respect and recognize his point of view. Paraphrase or clarify if you are not sure of what he has said.

D. RESPONDING TO THE MESSAGE 9. Provide feedback Listeners must provide feedback to the speaker in order to complete the communication process. An active listener will try to inform the speaker that he has heard, understood and evaluated appropriately the main message. A good feedback should be relevant and timely. It should be based on facts and should relate to what’s happening at that time.

10. Control your emotion As listeners, you may experience different levels of emotion to what the speaker says. “Loaded” words or statements can make you react emotionally. To control this, you must identify what triggers you, understand your responses and develop the ability to listen objectively and attentively without interrupting .


11 E. LISTENING TOOLS TECHNIQUE/ DEFINITIONS

PURPOSE

EXAMPLE

1. Open-ended questions Questions which start with: HOW? WHAT? WHY? WHICH?

- To collect information - To get responses - To maintain a neutral, non emotional climate

How do you feel now? What do you think is the cause of the problem?

2. Landry Lists Questions which give you choices, possibilities, options, alternatives

- To get information - To express preferences, choices - To evaluate among choices

What do you see is a major problem: high turnover rate, absenteeism or lack of motivation?

3. Supposing Questions which allow the other person to fantasize, to explore someone else’s attitudes or points of view

- To let people think from a different point of view

If you were in Paul’s situation, how would you handle the situation?

4. Echoing/Clarifying/ Confirming Questions which clarify or confirm if the message sent is what the sender really meant - or - if you have in fact heard the message correctly

- To let the sender know that we receive the message - To test the accuracy of the message received

Are you saying... If I understand you correctly, what you said was...

5. Reassurance Express concern and “understanding” for the sender

- To keep a difficult dialogue moving forward - To encourage sender to continue to communicate with you - To show empathy

I see That’s interesting

Note:

Direct questions differ from open-ended questions as they require a specific answer. Questions answerable by Yes or No, questions that start with Do, Can, May, Are, Is, Could, Will, Shall, etc., or a simple phrase will fall under this category. Direct questions are not considered as one of the listening tools since this technique doesn’t encourage people to express or explore ideas fully.

IV. STYLES OF LISTENING Active Listening is the most difficult aspect of the communication process to manage. Often, what we hear is different from what has been said. By recognizing the different styles of listening - both barriers and bridges to communication, and by eliminating the bad listening habits, we can make the best use of active listening to better understand others, to share ideas and to build on those ideas together.

A. BARRIERS TO COMMUNICATION 1. On-off listener This habit comes about because individuals think about four times as fast as the average person speaks. Thus, a person listening has 45 seconds of spare thinking time for each speaking minute. A listener of this type thinks of personal affairs, concerns and problems instead of asking questions to himself or interpreting the message.

2. Emotional listener An emotional listener gets upset when he hears words or statements that relate to sensitive issues or topics that can put him in tight or awkward situations. If this happens, the listener automatically tunes out the speaker.

3. Open-ears but closed-mind listener This all-knowing type listener assumes that he knows what the speaker will talk about and jumps to conclusion that there is nothing new if you listen to the speaker. He thinks and decides even before the start of the session that it is boring and what will be said makes no sense.

4. Day-dreamer This glassy-eyed listener has a dreamy expression. He seems to be looking at the speaker intently and listening attentively but his mind is really wandering or in far distant places.

5. Too-complex-for-me listener This type of listener avoids too complex and complicated ideas or topics. In so doing, he is not able to follow the subject because he doesn’t make a real effort to understand what is being said.

6. Compliant listener This is the shy type who doesn’t voice his ideas for fear of ridicule and/or criticism. He adds little to the discussion

Active Listening Skills: Styles of listening

15 7. Argumentation listener This type of listener doesn’t want his ideas, opinion and judgments challenged or over-tuned. Thus, when the speaker says something that opposes what he thinks, he will unconsciously stop listening to plan his response.

8. Fault-finder The critical type listener finds faults with what the speaker says or how he says it rather than concentrating on the message. He misses the most important facts and main ideas because he focuses on small details of each item being discussed.

9. Note-taker listener This type of listener attends meetings with the purpose of getting all possible information. In so doing, he spends all his time taking down notes on all the materials presented. He forgets to listen to the main points or “meat” of the discussion because of his desire to write everything the speaker says.

10. Mental filters We filter incoming messages through our own preconceptions. Messages contrary to our beliefs cannot pass, and unless we make a conscious effort, are simply not heard. (They are heard by our ears, but not by our minds.)

B. BRIDGES TO COMMUNICATION 1. Involved listener The Positive Type who is attentive and participates well in discussion. He tries to ask questions to clarify statements. He sends clear verbal and non-verbal responses and values good eye-contact. He listens objectively to the speaker’s point of view and tries to give the same connotation to the message so as to align his thoughts with that of the speaker’s intention.

2. Active listener Closely pays attention to the message that the speaker tries to relate. He asks questions to ensure that his interpretation of the statement is accurate. He also gives feedback to reach a common understanding with the speaker.

3. Positive listener Never disagrees with a speaker until he has played back the speaker’s point so that the speaker agrees it was correctly understood. This approach prevents the “Argumentative Listener” syndrome.
