What does this mean to the learner?
The failure to listen effectively comes about not because of any deliberate intention to do so, but because of certain factors that prevent its achievement. These factors are termed, ‘Barriers to listening’, and may result from internal, human behaviours, or the external environment.
By understand what these barriers are, and the effect they have on the ability to listen, the learner will be both able, and motivated, to remove them.
What does this mean to the learner’s organisation?
Most individuals within the organisation are committed to good communication, but often fail to understand why communication fails. Understanding the factors that act as barriers to effective listening will fill this knowledge gap, and act as a catalyst to more effective communication.
