Lousy Listeners
Poor listeners hear than listen. Their minds don't attune to the message or sentiment. Worst of all, the lousy listener interrupts. This causes information to be missed. Some interrupt mentally by jumping to a conclusion and then go on to think about their own response. Hotel and restaurant managers or owners may be more likely to interrupt their heads of departments and men are more likely to interrupt women. The bottom line, if you interrupt, is that people will avoid sharing ideas with you.
