Listening and Communication
Regardless of the type and size of your organization – whether it's a large corporation, a small company, or even a home-based business – you need good communication skills if you want to succeed. Listening is part of that. Look at this: Listening is one of the most important skills you can have. How well you listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness, and on the quality of your relationships with others. We listen to obtain information. We listen to understand. We listen for enjoyment. We listen to learn. Given all this listening we do, you would think we'd be good at it! Well, Jesus told us to beware of how we listen! (Luke 4:18).
