There is a guy in our group.
He’s intelligent, nice,
yet no one wants to work with him. 

Why? 
Because he doesn’t listen. 
He multi-tasks while others are talking.  
He doesn’t read emails sent to the group. 
Then he asks questions that
have already been answered. 
It wastes time and
makes his team members feel unappreciated. 

Leadership Turn has a great post on
5 Simple Tips To Become A Better Listener
including Paying Attention
(that means shutting off the Blackberry).
