1. Describe the inhibitor/s to communication demonstrated on the above scenario.

- Differences in meaning, a lack of trust, premature judgment, interference, and poor listening
skills are five types of inhibitors. However, John Gill has good listening skills; he didn't pay
attention to anyone even after hearing what they had to say. Additionally, he would rather
talk on the phone while checking his watch than listen and try to address the issue. And
from what I can see, John Gill's poor listening skills are a result of his lack of attention, his
overly attentive listening style, his tendency to draw premature conclusions, and his outright
judgments based on the speaker's delivery and physical appearance. Additionally, he simply
doesn't feel alert enough, which prevents him from focusing. But I believe he lacks trust
because he can't work well with other employees, and regardless of how he chose to fall
behind, he still chose to do so.

2. Provide suggestions to Gill on how to become an effective listener.

- Work as a team, practice mingling with others, and pay attention when someone is speaking
to you. Look into their eyes while they are looking at you as well because it is obvious that
listening is a talent that we could all need to be better at. You can increase your productivity
and your capacity to persuade, influence, and negotiate by practicing active listening.
Additionally, you'll stay clear of arguments and misunderstandings. For an employee to
succeed in work, they are all essential.
