<p>&#8220;Who is he?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What are his qualifications?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8221; Has he a vested interest in what he says?&#8221;</p>
<p>2. <strong>Hear what he really says.</strong></p>
<p>Take the chips off your shoulders.</p>
<p>Keep an open mind.</p>
<p>Concentrate on ideas.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Listen actively</strong>.</p>
<p>Anticipate the speaker.</p>
<p>Weigh and review what&#8217;s been said.</p>
<p>Listen &#8220;between the lines.&#8221;</p>
<p>Listen with your hands.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Make sure you understand</strong>.</p>
<p>Ask questions, but don&#8217;t interrupt.</p>
<p>Briefly restate what he&#8217;s said.</p>
<p>Ted Pollock say&#8217;s most of his life has been &#8220;one long earful.&#8221;</p>
