As an "Insubordinate Employee" in the past, I would like to highlight the time and place to talk to an employee.  Never criticize in front of their peers or the people they have direction over. It is ok to provide constructive criticizim to anyone, however it needs to be the correct time and place.  Accept their opinion and realize when they are right, or at least aknowledge their idea.  Do not come into a meeting with the feeling that you are the only correct person in the room, it never works out well.

Intresting test.  The questions must be honestly answered, and the more you miss the better you score.  I answered honestly and wish there were feedback on how I may improve my stress levels.

Never take credit where credit is due. 

The first public speaking event I ever did I hid behind the podium.  Over 10 years later I avoid it like the plague, move around the class, make eye contact, ask students questions and don't be afraid to call on the ones that may be distracted. Bringing someone back into the lecture makes it morre of a discussion and helps the entire class with the activity.

I have learned how I have failed at effective communication in the past, and plan to bring multiple forms of communication in the workplace. At least two forms of contact seem to be the most effective.

It has been my experience when working with a large number of people two forms of communicaiton are needed.  Oral only or written only do not catch every persons attention.  If both forms are used the large majority of people remember the assignment / task at hand.
