With the rise of MOOCs, distance learning has been thrust into the spotlight. While learners can now engage in high quality courses from around the world, it remains primarily a unilateral experience, with most students consuming the content but rarely engaging with their peers.

What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Overcoming fear has been a major theme in our work. Fear is appealing food for moose in the workplace. It attracts and nourishes them. Moose-on-the-Table is where everyone in a meeting knows there is an issue or problem, but no one is talking about it. It’s like there is a large moose standing on the meeting-room table and no one is saying a word about it as if it’s not there.

A manager who can't make a decision or who can't make a timely decision will frustrate his/her employees. Equally bad, a lack of decision will impede the progress of the manager's team. Some managers make endless requests for data as a way to postpone their having to make a decision. Employees end up spinning in circles, slicing and dicing the information far beyond what is truly needed for the manager to make a decision.

When we think of someone working two jobs, we often picture people working in retail or the food service industry, or someone who is trying to break into acting and doing another job on the side. While these are all real-world examples, the reality of job juggling is a lot different than we assume.

To be an effective communicator you need to custom-fit your approach by being outcome-oriented and audience specific. That means you need to tailor your communications based on what outcome you’re trying to create and how you need to show up with specific people or groups to make that outcome likely.

I love working with young leaders. I have to say it’s one of my favorite parts of leading. I have two incredible young leaders as sons. (The picture with this post is with them years ago – taken the day we moved from Tennessee to Kentucky.). Occasionally, when I am talking to a younger leader something becomes apparent.
