During a team meeting, Reena interrupts her colleagues and responds before listening to them fully. What should she do for effective communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Listen actively and allow the speaker to finish before responding
Reena should listen without interrupting, identify the speaker’s main idea, and respond only after the person finishes. This active-listening habit shows respect and reduces misunderstanding. Speaking louder, rejecting ideas, or avoiding spoken communication does not solve the basic problem of failing to listen.
