I keep Steven covey
as a general theme. Individual episode can be viewed separately for any new
corner. Common Theme for the week (til today (22nd Nov)) -
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Courtesy: Stephen Covey).

Paradigm:
Ineffective: I listen with the intent
to reply(in some way to Influence, to accomplish their own end)
Effective: I listen with the intent to understand
(Emphatic listening).

Priniciple:
To communicate effectively, we must
first understand each other.

Behaviour

emphatically.
·        
Seek to be
understood from the other’s perspective.

Result:
·        
Greater
influence with others

Solutions to
complex problems
·        
Clarity on
real issues
·        
Faster
problem solving

We all would have
seen the Movie Titanic. The captain saw a tip of iceberg whereas it was a
gigantic Ice Mountain inside. The ship collapsed due to Ice Mountain.

Similar to it, we
all try to address the tip of iceberg in the conversations whereas each of us has
a huge mountain below the iceberg.

How do we go
deeper?

To go deeper in
conversations, Covey suggests – Five Levels of Listening.

    nurtures that they become open non-defensive

Listening Tips:- Use Talking Stick while having one to one discussion
either in personal or professional setting. This can be used in our daily
conversation with our spouses, teenage daughters/sons, brothers/sisters or with
our mom. This can be used in our team meeting as well.
When someone holds the talking stick,
everyone else listens fully without interrupting. Then the other person takes
the talking stick talks, and everyone else listens fully.

"Don't
try to fix it. I just need you to listen." Every man has heard these
words. And they are the law of the land. No matter what.

Quote for the week to ponder upon:
One
friend, one person who is truly understanding, who takes the trouble to listen
to us as we consider our problem, can change our whole outlook on the world.
