The corporate world is experiencing a massive shift. A new generation is entering the workforce, many are retiring, and the formula for leadership is being re-invented. Dictatorships are giving way to collective organizational vision creation. Our titles, age, or departmental role do not define us.

About 70% of your employees hate their job. So, whether you call it internal communications or employee engagement, either way, you can improve!

Communication affects teamwork in positive and negative ways. The quantity and quality of communication within a team and from leadership affects teamwork.

Team building applies to any field, even a football field. Following my favorite sports teams is my number one hobby! It’s fascinating to see how the most intense sports teams perform; the way they communicate, work together and understand each other.  As fans, we care about the win! However,  we have no idea what effort goes on behind the scenes. I realize that to have such a fierce demeanor as a team, it takes some work, teamwork. For players to cooperate, commit, and triumph, they first establish a fundamental core with team building.
