Hub You - Listening When You Don't Want To
9/11, 2001 has hit a whole lot of business. But the most badly hit was air industry. US airlines were virtually on the ground for most of time rather than in the sky. As old adage says. Planes are safer at the ground. But they are built to fly and that where they should be all the time. Almost whole aircraft industry was badly hit by being grounded. Million of jobs evaporated and billion of dollar went under drain. All these were due to not doing anything.Peter Drucker, in his book ‘Managing for result’ defines the cost point in the whole sup

“Duh, Kevin, that’s profound.”
I believe we all know how to be great listeners when we really want to be. Times like: on a second date, when comforting someone who is hurting, when helping someone we care about. All of these are times we have experienced, and if our listening were graded in these situations, we would all score high.
So, listening is a skill we already have, and can perform quite well in certain situations. The problem is we don’t practice our skills at our best in nearly enough situations.
In fact, there are sometimes that we are awful listeners. Times like:
- When we are angry.
- When we are busy.
- When we don’t care or are uninterested.
- When we are bored.
Most of us aren’t very good listeners in these situations. But it is in many of these situations when improving our listening habits will pay us the biggest dividends. What can we do then to improve our listening habits in these difficult times?
The Seven “Gets”
There are seven specific “Gets” that I recommend to you in any situation when you aren’t at your listening best. Here they are:

Owning a commercial property gives a business a major advantage. It increases the value of a business hugely and means that a
Get Curious. I learned this in college. I was most successful in classes I was interested in. So, to improve my success in other classes I looked for what I found interesting or wondered about. When I got more curious I became more interested, listened more carefully and was more successful. The same is true for meetings or one-on-one conversations. Become curious and you will listen more carefully, ask questions for clarification and understanding, and voila! boredom becomes interest.
Get a pen. Taking notes when listening has a way of keeping your mind on task. It shows the other person that you are genuinely interested and helps you hear for important facts, feelings and other information. You may not want to bring out your notebook in every conversation, but there are many situations, especially in our professional lives where taking notes will increase your listening effectiveness significantly.
Get focused. The last two pieces of advice help us focus, for sure. Beyond that though we can improve our listening by shutting off our brain a bit. Stop thinking about the call you need to make. Stop thinking about your other project. Stop, and listen.
Get over it. Perhaps someone is talking about something you don’t agree with, or they have hit a hot button with one of their comments.
