* Not Concentrating. We talk at a rate of 120 to 150 words per minute, but we can think 400 to 800 words per minute. This allows us time to think in between words that are being said. We can pretend to listen while really thinking of something else.

It is how we learn to customize our message to our prospects.

* Thinking About Our Response. Instead of thinking about what the other person is saying, we often think about what we personally want to say next or where we want the conversation to lead. We are mentally planning our own agenda and game plan. In effect, we patiently wait our turn to talk but we never have give and take between the two parties.

The effective manager is that person who has mastered the art of delegation and empowerment. Delegation is not to be confused with dumping work on other people with a disregard for overloading them - leading to de-motivation. True delegation means giving responsibility to others - with the resources and the training to do the job.SHARE INFORMATIONWhen it comes to delegating effectively, we cannot win unless we give the employee the information to do the job. Now this sounds rather simplistic - and you might say, “Well that’s easy, I already give them information … I tell them what has to be done … they just have to go and do it.” The problem is that often we just don’t give sufficie

Many people wish to work for themselves and owning your own business is a career choice, which should be considered if you are a motivated self-starter.

I have recently received several questions that relate to telecommunications. These questions are not only geared toward the unwanted and bothersome phone calls we receive from telecommunicators trying to sell us something - although we can certainly learn what not to do from them - but also are concerned with how we can present effectively and powerfully over the telephone.Telephone impressions are as important as in-person impressions. the first impression we make over the telephone will be lasting and will set the tone for the present and/or any upcoming interaction we will have with that person. Opportunities abound. We may be recording our own answering device mes

* Jumping to Conclusions. Sometimes we assume we know exactly what the other person is going to say next and we begin forming reactions based on those assumptions. We start putting words into the other speaker's mouth because we are so sure of what they mean.
* Prejudging the Speaker on Their Delivery and Personal Appearance. We can judge people by the way they look or speak instead of listening to what they say. Some people are so put off by personal appearance, regional accents, speech defects, and mannerisms that they don't even try to listen to the message.
* Lack of Training. Some people just honestly and truly don't know how to listen effectively, even if they want to. If they haven't ever had any training or guidance in how to listen effectively, they may not be accustomed to or even realize the mental effort or level of involvement really required to do so.
