Have you ever been in a meeting or a discussion and wondered if the other person was really listening? Many people take their listening skills for granted.

Even with the best intentions, you may be sending signals that you aren't listening at all. http://www.ccl.org/leadership/podcast/IsAnyoneListening.mp3 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:12:00 EDT 3:22 listening, listening skills, leadership Center for Creative Leadership What does it take to be more innovative in the workplace? Today's companies want employees with critical and creative thinking skills, a willingness to adapt, and the capacity to innovate.

There is no ownership in effective crisis leadership. Sure, there might be formal structures in place, but when emergencies strike, leaders step up from many places and take on many roles. In essence, an effective crisis response takes into account the need for balancing formal organizations, as well as those informal networks that bubble up when disaster hits. http://www.ccl.org/leadership/podcast/WhosInCharge.mp3 Thu, 3 Apr 2008 09:12:00 EDT 3:29 emergency, crisis, leadership Center for Creative Leadership Just as relationships can be learned, so can the skills needed to strengthen your network.

Without a solid network of support and knowledge, executives can't build those relationships and help their companies succeed. http://www.ccl.org/leadership/podcast/SixWaystoStrengthenYourNetwork.mp3 Tue, 4 Mar 2008 09:12:00 EDT 5:06 network, building relationships, leadership Center for Creative Leadership To be a successful executive, relationship skills are key. Surveys of executives from around the world show that relationship skills are in great demand, and so is the need to improve those skills and put them to use in a changing corporate culture. While they were once considered "soft" skills that some executives simply possessed naturally, relationship skills are something that can, indeed, be learned. http://www.ccl.org/leadership/podcast/RelationshipSkillsCanBeLearned.mp3 Tue, 4 Mar 2008 05:12:00 EDT 3:44 relationship skills, executives, leadership Center for Creative Leadership There's a reason they call it the human resources department and not the employment office.
