| There are many instances when leaders and employees encounter a difficult situation and make it more complicated because they don't practice effective communication skills. This doesn't happen because they're trying to make things more difficult, it's usually because they don't have any other method of dealing with things.

I recently unpacked my brand new iPhone 4 and was suitably impressed - and truth be told, suitably amazed - at the features and functionalities of this little wonder packet. Let's face it, it's just downright sexy, and I love to play with it. Yes, says a lot about me, I know!
I'm sure though, that this bonding ritual is played out all over the world millions of times previous to my experience, and no doubt, millions more after mine. This is akin to a 'crush' or infatuation with an object that doesn't judge, talk back, or make demands other than that I have sufficient funds to feed its bandwidth and call charge habits. Simple really! A perfect relationship, perfect for Geeks and Stylistas the world over.
I was still blushing with this raw flush of infatuation when I came across some information about my new friend that is really disturbing. Actually, it is very dark. Apparently, embeded inside the bits and bytes on my new iPal, there is a file. That file is all about me.

" Now is the time, Union is the intent, Truth is the call, and Sharing is the service. Within you lies a heart filled with wonder, certainty, genius and love's power. Will you join with me to awaken it and co-create humanity's new earth reality? " KA & Gaia

Leaders and organizations frequently realize that they need to bring their employees together and help them interact more effectively because they’ve noticed negative morale, reduced motivation or lagging productivity. Leaders sometimes bring in a team building professional, everyone does a few fun activities and people feel great. The feeling of well-being lasts about a day and then everyone goes back to the same behaviors that created the current situation.
