Answer 76

Question 77

Tips for delivering bad-news messages

Answer 77

- Good news/bad news: You sometimes can help soften the blow by first sharing a positive message, then following it up with the bad news. - Bad news/good news: In this technique, you say you have some bad news, tell it, then quickly indicate there is a more pleasant side to the story. Of course, truly insulated listeners may tune you out before the good news reaches their ears. - Sandwich: Sandwiching the negative news between two pieces of positive news is a combination of the first two techniques and often proves effective. - Lunchtime deliveries: Knowing the best time to deliver bad news is helpful, too. The optimum time is during the process of postprandial dip. After a meal, there is a drop in blood pressure as people digest their meals. Because their energy is elsewhere, they don’t get as upset as they normally would. So aim to make all your bad-news calls after lunch!

Question 93

Name 6 strategies for effective listening.

Answer 93

Get more involved by asking questions. Use your knowledge of open and closed questioning techniques to show your interest and increase your understanding. Give appropriate feedback. Paraphrase, ask questions, use door-openers, check for understanding, and use supportive nonverbal signals to let your clients and coworkers know you’re listening, you understand them, and you care about their message. Listen actively. That is, listen for the emotions and feelings of speakers and respond appropriately with supportive verbal and nonverbal feedback. Don’t allow emotional words to throw you off track. If you don’t control your emotional hot buttons, you will find it difficult to break out of the ineffective style of defensive listening. Don’t prepare rebuttals to the speaker’s points until you have heard the entire message. In other words, don’t be an ambusher. Listen for an organized understanding of the message. Speakers usually don’t deliver their messages to us in neat, organized packages. Keep an ongoing mental outline of the speaker’s key points to help keep you focused and on track.
