Learn how to listen to coworkers. Most of us can improve our listening skills. Ask what teammates think—about recent occurrences at the practice, how systems are working, what improvements can be made—and then listen carefully to what they say. Acknowledge their comments by asking questions and restating their thoughts to make sure you understand. Listening carefully shows true respect and helps strengthen the team.
