Positively Present comments on Let's Get Some Definitions Out of the Way

As a writer (for fun) and a communications specialist (for work/torture), I realize just how important definitions are. How we define things shapes how we define -- and relate to -- the world around us. Considering how important definitions are, your rant is definitely warranted!

Accountable is one of my all-time favorite words.

The Speed Networking was great. I met a lot of wonderful people. It was great to see you there too Katrina!

You are so right Myra! Feedback is crucial to managers AND trainers. I think the difficulty is being open to it and letting our egos not get in the way so we can truly grow from what others share.

This isn't exactly the same thing, but we just went through a 360 evaluation at work. Wow - what an experience that was! I really appreciated the feedback from my staff, and in the end, feel that I'm a better manager for it. I love the opportunity to give and receive feedback as long as it's constructive and supportive. I've found my staff have overall felt the same way.

I just adopted the use of Yammer for our management team. We have been using a week now. Since we have eliminated staff meetings, it is a nice way of keeping up communication on projects...
I will keep you posted..
I am currently doing #11 and I couldn't agree more with #25!

I love this post Katrina, in a time where the art of conversation seems to have been lost. Listening to people at work is one of the most important things I do, and it's a key to developing staff. I'm looking forward to the list!

this is SO cool Katrina, I might have to share your blog at work, I am involved in training now (which I am actually not happy about) and picking your brain just might make my life easier :)

Maybe it's hard for us managers to admit the influence of environment on performance, because it puts so much accountability on us!

I think you may be on to something there!
