The
Global Youth Innovation Network (GYIN) Gambia Chapter national coordinator, Mamadou
Edrisa Njie has observed that listening is very difficult, especially for managers
with authority and a ready audience within their departments or companies.
In
a recent presentation on leadership skills and qualities during the GYIN
Senegal coordinator, Aisha Padane’s visit to the country on the 24 August 2015
at the GYIN office in Churchill’s Town, he called on the masses to listen four
times as they speak because the surface area of the two ears is
four times as much as the lip.
“The mammalian ear is a master of detecting very
quite sounds,” he noted, while saying: “Yet we humans do not listen too well.
Husbands do not listen well to wives, bosses do not listen too well to
employees and parents do not listen too well to their next-generation
children.”
