The Lies We Tell Ourselves
Getting Off Your Butt To Listen to Employees
Great post on Fistfull of Talent blog about managers getting out from behind the desk and actually interacting with employees. Huh? That’s crazy talk! 
Mr. Anderson
Pressure is on for engineers to communicate face-to-face
MIT created this undergraduate program focused on “people skills” in response to industry pressures to produce engineers who are as skilled at communicating face-to-face as they are at writing complicated computer codes on their own.
A great industry example of why the courses in myLearning are VERY applicable to your job!

You Don’t Know How to E-Mail
I’d say my biggest gripe at the office is our persistent and abundant inability to effectively communicate via e-mail. I say “our” because I’m guilty of this, too. Two things got me thinking about this today:
- I received an email with a blank subject line
- Then I received an email sharing Erik Goodlad’s “5 min/20 Slides” presentation at Ignite Boise about managing emails
Hear me for a minute: if you’re swamped with emails, so are your co-workers, manager, and most importantly… your clients and subject matter experts. By following some of the tips from Mike Song’s book, The Hamster Revolution, you’ll communicate better and do a better job managing your emails.
Check out Erik’s presentation, too:
