The Cambridge Dictionary defines interruption as the act of stopping a person from speaking for a short period by something you say or do; to stop something from happening for a short period; to interrupt progress or momentum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>When you frequently interrupt someone, 3 things are communicated to the person who was interrupted:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 1. My thoughts and opinions are more important than yours.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 2. I am not actively listening to your conversation.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 3. I am not here to collaborate, but to win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another problem with interrupting is that interpersonal safety is also effected. Psychological safety is a shared belief that the team or environment is a safe space for interpersonal risk taking. It can be defined as \u201cbeing able to show and employ one\u2019s self without fear of negative consequences of self-image, status or career.\u201d\u00a0 In other words, members of a team feel safe, accepted and respected.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The next time you are running a meeting, think about creating a culture of respect by instituting a NO INTERRUPT rule.\u00a0 Allow your employees to ask questions, share ideas and engage in discussion without fear of repercussions.\u00a0 If you are the one interrupting, consider a time of self-reflection.\u00a0 Why can you not allow someone to finish their sentences?\u00a0 What strength of yours is in overdrive?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If this is an issue for you or one of your team members, we can help.\u00a0 Personality assessments can reveal which talent is overcompensating and we can teach you how to self-correct this tendency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once, when working with a team, the group could not\u00a0finish\u00a0a conversation without interrupting each other.
