3.4 IMPORTANCE OF LISTENING SKILLS

Listening plays an important role in the process of communication and is a vital skill needed in every walk of life. While we listen, we build trust and a healthy relationship with the speaker. In the era of high-tech communication, we should listen to one another whenever possible, as one really gets rare opportunities and time to have a discussion or a conversation. When we listen to others, we get to know about the skill of speaking, style of framing arguments and the art of presenting facts. This will enable us to improve our vocabulary skill and oratory skills. Listening intently avoids misinterpretation and reduces the risk of misunderstanding. When a person listens he happens to know the opinion of others and explore a new horizon of ideas leading to personal development. While paying keen attention and interest to what others speak, unconsciously we convey to them that their message is important. This paves the way for better prospects in team-based work culture.
