One can never be too careful when working with a diverse group of people.  All must be treated equally with respect and dignity.  Forgiveness can go a long way to help mend a rift between two people when ones feelings are hurt.

Employee development is more important than ever in today’s fast-changing business landscape.

Working together as a united team toward achieving a goal

It's important to express a clear vision of where you want your team to go to be successful, and then listen and adjust as needed.

Greetings, 

I assist a two Directors.  One I meet with on a weekly basis, the other prefers communication through email.  What do you do when you have initiated a weekly 1:1 with one of your bosses and they say that they don't think it's necessary?  I feel it's necessary since I primarily work remote and there is information that would be easier to share during a 1:1 30 minute weekly or bi-weekly meeting.  I feel sometimes the individual just doesn't want to communicate with people.  

How do I still try to learn about my boss when they don't want to interact much outside of email.  I've only had 2 1:1 touch base meetings with him in the past 2 years.  I've even shared how it will help me help him even better.  

This is a good information to be use in class with my students

What is the best strategy to deal with management if they are not buying your idea even with many conversations and evidences?

What defines a good teamwork

This was great  and so much knowledge for me to using for teaching!

its important to value everyones opinion and not fall in line with the majority

A top takeaway from this course so far has been the idea to make the meeting a workspace. This could mean allowing time for particiapnts to read the egenda - or filling out forms during the merting with less work added to a growing to-do list.
