I. Do You Have a Team? Our team survival exercise will tell you

Do you want to know if you have a team . . . or just a group of individuals that show up at the same place each day? Executives have learned invaluable information through our team survival exercises. You don't have to go to the desert, but once your team survives this desert they can survive everyday's business survival challenges

Lesson Learned:

They'll understand the value of working together. They'll look forward to working as a team and they'll accomplish more because of it. They'll take ownership for building the team and maintaining maximum effectiveness. They'll recognize when their team is not functioning and know what steps to take to get back on track. They'll capitalize on the talents of each individual team member to make the team stronger and to accomplish tasks better and faster.

II. Your Communication Can Make a Difference (ONLY read if you really know me)

If you have read this newsletter over the years, you know that while I express MY opinion, learned as it is, I ask you to simply think about lessons learned. For one of the few times, I ask you to take action. The subject is Michael Vick, and the degree of animal cruelty he is accused of committing or allowing on his property. I understand that innocent until proven guilty is a bedrock value of this country. But we have other important traditions, too. When a shadow as awful as this falls on a public figure like Vick, leaders take action, and it's not business as usual.

I also understand that as we have recently witnessed in the Duke un-rape case, all is not what it seems to be. Still, with love for animals as my bedrock, I ask you to cut and paste these two website addresses and at the very least consider sending an email to each.

The first one is the NFL, the second one is Nike.

Lesson Learned:

Sometimes we just gotta do, what we have to do.
