Can we talk?

I’ve recently been working with two different teams focusing on training initiatives. One team is tasked with delivering leadership skills to ops and team managers, the other is putting together a regular training session for more senior leaders – directors, executives, etc. Interaction with both of these teams has reminded me of a very simple concept: it’s good to talk!

I have been impressed with the great ideas that have been percolating in both groups. In both instances, folks have been brought together that wouldn’t normally interact with each other. It has been very enlightening to get leaders together from various accounts and departments and the synergy has been unmistakable and quite contagious. I think the great discussion taking place in both groups will be as beneficial to the organization as the training programs that will ultimately be built. Sometimes just talking is a wonderful thing.
