- Good enough but we all tend to move to evaluative listening sometimes and it is a skill to allow the other person to complete their full sentences and convey messages. I do tend to interrupt the person in order to ask questions so that I can better understand what is he/she saying
- In a hectic and speedy world, we tend to shorten the conversations. It is important to remember always that as healthcare professionals and leaders, we must give dedicated but concise time to listen actively to what the other person has to say. An important way to ensure a more active listening is to ask the other person to prepare what he/she needs to tell us concisely before meeting and without filter

- Tendancy to overwork and overproduce during stressful situations can impact the quality of the results and outcomes
