Good Managers Are Great Communicators. Managers, listen up…good managers are great communicators. A lot of what makes a good manager is the ability to communicate well. The best managers know how to really listen and how to communicate with both power and empathy. It’s not a matter of adhering to one method as in the cartoon above; but rather, good managers are great communicators because they communicate with clarity, relevance and purpose.

Employee Engagement Myths. Unfortunately as the field of engagement grows, employee engagement myths also seem to be on the rise. Some reports would have you believe that 7 out of 8 American workers are disengaged. That’s a staggering statistic! But should we believe it? We don’t think so. Those numbers are exaggerated. Most of the workforce is not disengaged.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been given a pile of dry content and asked to create a compelling eLearning course. You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging?
