Communication is not just about getting someone to hear or remember something, it is about helping him or her make sense of it and take action!   Think about the amount of information you have to process each day — reports, meetings, one on ones, emails and more!  Some information is easy to understand and retain; some is not.

3 Steps to a More Productive Day: Focus Tips For Managers

Stop multi-tasking and focus on what you are good at.

By Jayne Jenkins, CEO, Churchill Leadership Group We all have 24 hours in a day, but why does it feel like some managers get more done than others?
