"The process is successful if the person receiving the information gives feedback which shows understanding for meaning.Made for STES by soft skill experts: Tuhina Bhattacharya and Sanjay

Listening Ethics
The way to become a better listener is to practice "active listening." This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, try to understand the complete message being sent.
In order to do this you must pay attention to the other person very carefully.
You cannot allow yourself to become distracted by whatever else may be going on around you, or by forming counter arguments that you'll make when the other person stops speaking. Nor can you allow yourself to get bored, and lose focus on what the other person is saying. All of these contribute to a lack of listening and understanding.

Ethics to remember!
1. Give the speaker your undivided attention
2. keep your mind open to new ideas.
3. Park your biases outside the door.
4. Provide honest feedback to the speaker.
5. Look for what is good or useful in the message.
6. consider how the speech might affect others.
7. Listen to others as you would have them listen to you

How to do it Right through Body Language
1. Pay Attention Give the speaker your undivided attention, and
acknowledge the message. Recognize that non-verbal communication also "speaks" loudly.
Look at the speaker directly. Put aside distracting thoughts. Don't mentally prepare a rebuttal! Avoid being distracted by environmental
factors. For example, side conversations. "Listen" to the speaker's body language.

2. Show That You're Listening Use your own body language and gestures
to convey your attention. Nod occasionally. Smile and use other facial expressions. Note your posture and make sure it is
open and inviting. Encourage the speaker to continue with
small verbal comments like yes, and uh huh.

3. Provide Feedback Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments, and beliefs can
distort what we hear. As a listener, your role is to understand what is being said. This may require you to reflect what is being said and ask questions.
Reflect what has been said by paraphrasing. "What I'm hearing is," and "Sounds like you are saying," are great ways to reflect back.
Ask questions to clarify certain points. "What do you mean when you say." "Is this what you mean?"
Summarize the speaker's comments periodically. Tip: If you find yourself responding emotionally to what someone
said, say so, and ask for more information: "I may not be understanding you correctly, and I find myself taking what you said personally. What I thought you just said is XXX; is that what you meant?"

4. Defer Judgment Interrupting is a waste of time. It
frustrates the speaker and limits full understanding of the message.
Allow the speaker to finish each point before asking questions.
Don't interrupt with counter arguments.

5. Respond Appropriately Active listening is a model for respect and
understanding. You are gaining information and perspective. You add nothing by attacking the speaker or otherwise putting him or her down.
Be candid, open, and honest in your response. Assert your opinions respectfully. Treat the other person in a way that you think
he or she would want to be treated.

Listening, Understanding and Responding is the desire and ability to understand and respond effectively to other people from diverse backgrounds. It includes the ability to understand accurately and respond effectively to both spoken and unspoken or partly expressed thoughts, feelings and concerns of others. People who demonstrate high levels of this competency show a deep and complex understanding of others, including cross-cultural sensitivity.
