If you follow the MMM you know
I have written a lot on listening. Focused and intentional listening is
powerful. But let’s look at the other aspect of communication. That is the role
of the communicator. Communication is a two-way street between the communicator
and the listener. The real burden is on the communicator. They are the ones
delivering a message. They are the ones trying to make a point. It is their job
to successfully convey their intended message. All the great listening in the
world cannot overcome a poorly delivered concept or idea.
The next time you feel the
urge to say, “Would you just listen to what I am saying?”, consider pausing and
reviewing your delivery as the communicator. The burden is on the sender of the
message.
Have a blessed week.
