A Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) is presiding over a public grievance redressal camp. The leader of a local weavers' cooperative approaches the desk, speaking rapidly and with a distressed tone, explaining how unannounced power cuts have destroyed their raw materials and jeopardized their livelihoods. To apply effective active listening and establish a proper feedback mechanism, which of the following approaches should the SDM adopt?
- Maintain open body language, summarize the weaver's financial concerns to confirm understanding, and propose a joint communication channel where the electricity department shares advance load-shedding schedules with the cooperative.Cevap
- BInterrupt the leader firmly to establish administrative control, loudly state that the grievances have been recorded, and immediately direct them to file a written petition to expedite the queue.
- CExpress deep sympathy for the weavers' financial losses and instantly draft an official order suspending the local electricity subdivision officer for administrative negligence.
- DFocus entirely on mimicking the distressed vocal pitch and rapid speech rate of the leader to demonstrate empathy, instead of verbally confirming the factual details of the complaint.
Cevap
The approach involving maintaining open body language, summarizing the concerns, and creating a joint communication channel.
The correct approach successfully combines non-verbal attending behaviors (open body language) with a core verbal active listening technique (summarizing/paraphrasing) to validate the speaker. Furthermore, establishing a joint communication channel creates a continuous, structured feedback mechanism between the affected citizens and the responsible department, which directly addresses the root of the grievance.
