In my earlier note, I had mentioned various essentials qualities of a HR Personnel. Now, let us see those items one by one. At present, the most required quality of a HR Professional is that he should be a good communicator. In the sense that the HR professionals should have good listening, writing, reading and speaking skills. The requirement is not only in his own language but also he should have the capability in carrying out the business in day-to-day business in English.



Good Listener is a better Manager



Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effortless activity. It demands high sense of attention and concentration. We understand thing wrong because we have not understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone, who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember - despite the benefit of the notes - exactly what everyone said. Good listeners don't interrupt. But the bad habit is that we start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished.
