RE: Listen like a meercat

interrupting while the other person is speaking is annoying for the person speaking

I think it is not just annoying, but also disrespectful and rude.

I have a lot of experiences with meetings with a poor listener. One of my previous bosses was one. There were many examples of it as well. He will be on his phone most of the time, and would request a lot of things to be repeated. He would ask questions that have already been answered. I think he has high blood sugar, so he would sometimes get sleepy during a meeting. Sometimes he would be late, or go out of the room during a meeting, and have the ones above happen again.

Yep, disrespectful and rude too, which causes annoyance.

I think your experiences with that boss have given you a good bad-listener-radar and isn't it funny that sometimes people like that manage to work themselves into higher/management positions. It never makes sense.

Well, it seems he is a good listener and leader when his boss is around. I guess it is also being able to surround himself with good workers that help them get into higher positions. With management, I feel like it is how you deal with people instead of doing the actual work most of the time.

Management, (leadership) is exactly about dealing with, and getting the most from, people. ✅
