In your management training classes, you have noticed that a significant number of trainees seem to be gaining little value from the sessions. Devise an activity that emphasizes how poor listening habits undermine effective communication


Trainees could be asked to role play the various poor listening habits (faking attention, allowing disruptions, overlistening, stereotyping, dismissing subjects as uninteresting, and failing to observe nonverbal clues) and then discuss how the suggestions for effective listening could be used to overcome the poor listening habits. Role play could be recorded and critiqued by the individuals involved. Trainees could be given a checklist of poor listening habits to consider and identify those challenges that are most significant to the individual. Each person could then write a simple action plan for overcoming the bad listening habits.
