Real life is not a spectator sport – it’s a participation sport, and in fact, I submit to you that it’s a full contact participation sport. My mind is racing around between what I've been a part of over the last two years in social media and the participants in the story. Take "reality TV" (please).

Product camps are a great place for product management professionals and leaders to step away from the day-to-day and engage in a day of learning and networking. These events have no ‘attendees’ because everyone participates in one way or another. There are two reasons why I’ve attended and participated in Product Camps.

And as odd as it may sound, one of the greatest impediments to building productive teams is practicing management by consensus. To be blunt, the concept of equality in the workplace has only made team building more difficult as employees seem to have a sense of undeserved entitlement with regard to their roles and responsibilities.

As a leader how can you make good decisions, set the vision and model behavior for something you don’t understand or participate in? I forget who it was, but some researcher determined that a person can really only manage relationships with about 150 people. Well, most people were already around 150 before social media arrived.

The overarching theme is that when management ignores, tolerates, or even enables office idiocy, the outcome is destined to be a continuation and expansion of these counterproductive antics. Not surprisingly, when managers and leaders act like office idiots, the population of office idiots in their departments tends to increase.

I hope your salespeople and customer service reps are gleaning more from customer interactions than orders–and are sharing that intelligence with management. Plan to have 6-12 participants. Allow plenty of opportunity for the participants to talk with each other. There are many ways to do this. Begin and end on time.
