Avoid Inappropriate Communication
All workers, whether part of management or not, are responsible for proper communication and for nipping rumors in the bud. Try these suggestions for dealing with or avoiding inappropriate communication:
--Ask management to share information about changes freely and promptly.
--Talk face-to-face when possible to avoid misinterpretations of phone messages, e-mail, or written memos.
--Arrange for a meeting as soon as you become aware that incorrect information is circulating so questions can be asked and answered with everyone present.
Strategic Meetings
Conference centers are growing in popularity as destinations for executive training. How about using a conference center for your company's next strategic meeting? The centers are self-contained environments that focus only on meetings, and facilitate learning, teambuilding and camaraderie. With meetings as their primary business, conference centers offer cutting-edge technology as well as onsite audiovisual staff. Types of conference centers include nonresidential facilities, private centers, resort centers, and centers run by universities. Conference centers are located throughout the United States, in the middle of the city or away from it all.
For more information on your next destination, call the International Association of Conference Centers at 314-993-8575 or visit their Web site by clicking here!

Better Communication
What kind of work do you do?
If you had a quarter for every time you're asked that
question, you'd be on your way to a simple answer - count my quarters! This overworked phrase is still the first out of many mouths when no worthy conversation comes to mind. How do you feel when you are asked that question? Most likely, you assume that the individual asking is making polite, but meaningless conversation - and probably doesn't really care about the answer. Try a different approach. Ask not what a person does, but instead ask how a person likes to spend their time. You've allowed the respondent to choose how they would like to answer - and you'll likely get a more interesting response to boot.
The 7 Deadly Sins of Press Releases
Whether you're announcing a new product line or a new member of your sales staff, a news release is a chance to make a great first impression. Be aware, however, that newspapers, magazines, and trade publications receive them by the truckload. That means sloppy, inaccurate, pointless releases are the first to hit the newsroom wastebasket. To make sure yours isn't one of them, avoid these “7 Deadly Sins!”
