What are some of the barriers to effective listening? For each barrier, discuss a strategy you could use to overcome it

What will be an ideal response?

The barriers are: (1 ) considering the topic/speaker uninteresting and boring (consider how the
information could be useful); (2 ) concentrating on the details and not the main ideas (analyze the
situation to determine what is important); (3 ) avoiding difficult listening situations (challenge yourself
with new listening situations); (4 ) tolerating or failing to adjust to distractions (control and adapt to
your environment); (5 ) faking attention (put energy into listening by taking notes); (6 ) bias and
prejudice (learn the views of others); and (7 ) preferred thinking (become proficient in each quadrant).
