Listening is very important, probably the most important part of communicating. You always want to pay attention to what is being said, or pay attention to whatever you are reading. There is also a difference between just hearing what somebody is saying and actually listening to them. You also want to listen actively. Listening means to decode and incorporate them correctly. When you are actively listening, you actively demostrate that they've heard and undertsood a speaker by feeding back either the literal meaning or the emotional content or both. I always try to listen because I feel it is the most important thing. You want to make sure you understand everything that is being said so you won't be lost or mess anything up if things like instructions are given. You can show people that you are listening to them by providing good body language. Body language show a lot and if you look like you are listening than the speaker will believe you are listening. Asking questions also shows that you are listening as well.
Working and writing in teams is also very important. It is great when you are able to work with a lot of people. Part of this is being a productive leader. Some messages groups attend to would be informational, procedural and interpersonal. There are many different roles that people play in groups. Some rols include seeking information and opinions and also giving them, summarizing, evaluating and coordinating. These are very important and if you can work in groups it is a very positive thing in superiors eyes.
