Avoid interrupting others from "summary" of How to Talk to Anyone at Work: 72 Little Tricks for Big Success Communicating on the Job by Leil Lowndes
It's incredibly rude to interrupt others when they're speaking. It shows a lack of respect for the person talking and their ideas. Not only does interrupting disrupt the flow of conversation, but it also sends the message that what the other person has to say is not important. People are more likely to open up and share their thoughts and ideas when they feel heard and respected. By listening attentively and waiting for your turn to speak, you show that you value the other person's input. Interrupting can also make you come across as arrogant or self-centered. It gives the impression that you believe your thoughts and opinions are more important than anyone else's in the room. This can damage relationships and hinder effective communication in the workplace. When you give others the chance to speak without interruption, you demonstrate that you are a good listener and a team player. This can help you build stronger connections with your colleagues and superiors. If you have a tendency to interrupt others, try to be more aware of your behavior. Pay attention to your body language and the signals you're sending. Practice active listening by making eye contact, nodding your head, and responding appropriately to what the other person is saying. Take a moment to pause and collect your thoughts before jumping in with your own ideas. By being mindful of your communication habits, you can become a more effective and considerate communicator in the workplace.
