Failure to listen is consistently an obstruction to effective communication

Failure to listen is consistently an obstruction to effective communication. Listening satisfactorily and capably is one of the hardest things in feasible correspondence (Guffey and Loewy, 2011). Poor listening upsets the audience’s ability to process whatever kind of information is being passed on. This may be a direct result of a person’s absence of fixation. From the YouTube video, in the discharge case conference, the manifestation of ineffective listening is clearly evident on the professionals; London’s attention is captured by his stethoscope, Joy is too busy playing with her hair, Katie is so obsessed with her phone, Diane’s attention is on her nails, Dr. Mayo is so obsessed with her phone, Kriten, the nursing student is busy fixing her left earring and drinking coffee and Petey Julie is busy sketching on her notebook and kind of forgets that the conference is going on. She’s however reminded by her colleague Katie and she responds clumsily, fumbling with words. Nobody is effectively listening to the speaker. There’s lack of concentration. In a meeting of this magnitude, it’s appropriate that the healthcare experts stop and listen effectively and ethically.
