Rats and the Citi

Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at amazing Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, a recertification rodent workshop was presented by Lipha Tech’s John Murphy in Citi’s state-of-the-art Auditorium. After the Seminar, we watched the Mets play the Nationals in our own private party room at Modell’s Clubhouse. The beer, wine and soft drinks flowed while we feasted on peanuts, popcorn, chips, hot dogs, burgers, pasta salad and cookies. What a great opportunity to meet and greet on this memorable night!
Our friend, Dr. Bill Lampton at Championship Communication thought our audience would enjoy this article about the 4 best ways a leader communicates effectively with his or her people and asked that we share it. It’s a result of extensive interviews by the Harvard Business School. Enjoy!
