I have a confession to make. After months of mocking it, I used the word ping.
For awhile now, I’ve been aware of this word and a little unclear on its meaning. If you’re asking me to ping you, do you want me to email you? call you? IM you? If so, why don’t [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ping This", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/08/26/ping-me/" });</script>]]></description>

Watching our Presidential candidates speak is driving me crazy.  Do you mind if I go off a bit?
Content aside, I can’t believe their staffs aren’t emphasizing eye contact.  This is presentation skills 101.  So just in case someone knows someone who can do something about this, please pass on this [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "CommTips #9: Eye Contact 101", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/08/19/eye-contact-101/" });</script>]]></description>

As a career military, self-described “killer,” our father would commonly explain that true leaders lead bullet-filled battle charges without looking back to see if the troops are following.  His logic was if a leader has to confirm loyalty, in our father’s words, “He’s already dead.”  This explains a lot about me [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "What My Father Taught Me About Leadership", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/08/13/what-my-father-taught-me-about-leadership/" });</script>]]></description>

When we had our first baby, we weren’t prepared for the onslaught of unsolicited advice.  We got it from anyone and everyone.  Of course we expected it from the grandparents but not total strangers standing in line at our local Safeway.  But that’s where the best advice I ever received [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Do What Works", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/08/05/do-what-works/" });</script>]]></description>

It’s been three months since I joined the Facebook and I’m now mostly just annoyed with it. Every morning when I get up I do two things: I check the temperature/forecast on New York 1 and I check the Yankee score/standings (in season). Now I have to click on one more bookmarked page [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The Facebook Experiment: Part 2 (Possibly Final)", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/07/24/the-facebook-experiment-part-2-possibly-final/" });</script>]]></description>

Since writing my 24/7 confessional blog some weeks ago, I’ve been hit with the retort; “Do you live to work or work to live?”  The presumption is I’m not focused on the lifelong search for the Holy Grail of balancing work and life.  So let me take another shot.

Peers that Threaten Candor
Any parent with a junior high- or high school-aged child knows the extraordinary pressure exerted (purposely or unwittingly) by the child’s peers.  Although that susceptibility to caring too much about “what others think” fades for many with growing [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Telling the Plain, Unvarnished Truth at Work: Part 3", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/07/17/telling-the-plain-unvarnished-truth-at-work-part-3/" });</script>]]></description>

The Nice Boss Made Me Do It
On the flipside, some employees act and speak disingenuously because they don’t want to disappoint a boss who has been kind, understanding, and solicitous of their professional welfare.  A hotel manager in Florida tells such a story: “The hotel [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Telling the Plain, Unvarnished Truth at Work: Part 2", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/07/15/telling-the-plain-unvarnished-truth-at-work-part-2/" });</script>]]></description>

(First of three parts) Do you observe a problem with down-right honesty in your workplace? It’s one thing to say that employees at all levels within a company often fail the candor and trust test, resulting in a breakdown of trust bonds with peers, subordinates, and supervisors.  It’s quite another to understand [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Telling the Plain, Unvarnished Truth at Work: Part 1", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/07/10/telling-the-plain-unvarnished-truth-at-work/" });</script>]]></description>

Is it just me or is something happening with our definition of leadership?  Up until the recent tenure of President George Bush, we were an unapologetic apologist culture when it came to leadership; “What do you expect?  That’s the nature of politicians, rich people, corporate leaders, etc.”
Then something happened.  Some credit the eight [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Leadership Now – My Top 10 List", url: "http://www.snpnet.com/morethantalk/2008/07/02/leadership-now-%e2%80%93-my-top-10-list/" });</script>]]></description>
