I loved this story. It very effectively demonstrates the effect the absence of the soft side skills can have on employees and spouses. And it is usually when we are stressed that we lose those skills. I also really liked this format.

Iloved this! Don’t change a thing. In your book, Enlightened Leadership, you speak about the costs of not tending to the soft side of leadership. By igniring the people side of your role, you can see the impact in your measurements such as productivity, quality. Do you have any further videos of discussions on this? Thanks! MK

Great lesson about balance of management and leadership.Good reminder how important “softside”skills
at work.

Ed – Thanks again for sending a piece of your work to help us manage and lead with a better balance. If I were to give any constructive comments, I would say that I enjoyed the others more since I had a personal connection with the speaker and a flipchart instead of the slides with audio only. Best wishes on your project.

A story always helps bring it home. I like the very simple explanations and can relate. I once explained *everything* to a brand new employee, including the huge responsibility involved for managing such a system and *all* the new things the person would need to learn. They quit. The talk was very detailed, organized, and efficient. It turned out to be way too much detail all at once and scared the person.

Great story! By using stories it help to relate to personal situations and find out how one could have addressed their situation differently. Thanks!

I enjoy viewing the videos there are very informative, but unfortunately there are times when I am unable to view them. The enviroment I work in doesn’t always allow me the chance to see the videos because, the computer we use is a shared computer and I do not have the privacy I need. So this brings me me to my question, is there a way I can receive the video contents in a written form of some sort? This would very helpful to me. Any help you could provide would sure be appreciated.

Very good presentation. I liked the slide show and it seemed to help focus on the content. When it was over, I wanted more…
I watched this in full screen mode and had less of a problem with the buffering starts and stops of viewing.

A great reminder of how important the “soft side” in both my personal and professional relationships. Thanks

Great lesson about balance of management and leadership.

My husband is a private pilot, so I can relate to your story very well.
