Too often, they are only half listening to what people say. This is because we think we know what the other person will say or because our mind is on something else.

Sometimes we think we understand, but do not clarify to see if in fact we did heard it right.



Some other things that cause poor communication are:


Music ineffective


Noise


Meaning of words


Language


Rangers


Appearances




You can not have developed our ability to listen, which is considered one of the most important skills in business, however, is rarely taught in schools.

Our minds are often in the past or the future, depending on what we have done or do. Sometimes we guess or assume what is going to say. Some people are afraid even of what the other person can
be saying and do not want to hear. Many times people just "listening" enough to respond.

The sounds of all kinds get in our way. These distractions keep us from listening. May be other people, telephones, radios, televisions and more. Many sounds do not make noise. They are based on how we feel, our prejudices, knowledge, skills and background to name a few.

Also, when it comes to defining words, the first is the standard dictionary definition. However, many words have several meanings, especially in the English language in the jargon is common.

Based on their experience, which the company were raised in, whether English is their native language, the emotional issues associated with the word and the kind of education that he felt the definition of the word.

One of the biggest blocks is the maintenance door. This is something the brain or unconscious I do not want to accept as true or relevant. We filter out most of what they are exposed. If we were to see and feel all at the same time, we go crazy. So our brain RAS (Reticular Activating System), says: "Is this important or a threat?" If the answer is no, that was leaking.

The problem is that they do not realize what we're stopping at the door. And the person who is trying to give a message to the door also has its own maintenance system.

Also be aware of their hearing, the person you are trying to communicate. If you are in a formal role and relaxed dress or jeans and a shirt, people who want to communicate with the desire to spend more time thinking about how they dress more than they are saying.

The same applies if you are trying to relate to people unemployed or on the street and is dressed in an expensive designer suit, they have no interest in talking to you or that you trust. Remember, your clothes communicate a message.

It is important to note that you and they understand what is meant and even repeat this process until you know they understand.

However, too often disasters happen because of miscommunication. Is up to you to do something about it. Remember that you can be as simple as asking clairify .
