The purpose of this paper is to offer perspectives which can be used to help diagnose what may underpin another person's workplace issues and concerns. Identifying the concerns and motivations of others increases the possibility of more collaborative and collegial working. 'Listening' is emphasized as being at the very core of what it means to exercise 'soft skills'.
This paper is addressed to all those with a responsibility for promoting and sustaining an effective, productive and collegial working environment. Whilst directed primarily at those with managerial and HRM responsibilities, the paper offers perspectives that are of general use and applicability both within the world of work and also outside the workplace.
