just didn’t want to go anymore. She made it nearly unbearable.

It didn’t start off that way, though. When we first started working together as colleagues in the same department, our relationship was amicable and tolerant. We because fast friends and got to know each other very well, including our spouses, lives and everything in between.

The first time it happened, it made me flinch inside a little, but not enough to rethink our relationship. The tenth time it happened, I felt sick every time we ran into each other in the office.

It's OK to Ban Devices from Your Meetings

It's OK to Ban Devices from Your Meetings | Management - Leadership | Scoop.it

We love to hate meetings. But since they aren't going away any time soon, we should think of ways to make them more effective. One answer is to ban devices. The reason is simple: devices distract us. Many people think they can finish an email or read through a Twitter feed while listening to someone in a meeting. But research shows we really can’t multitask. When we're focused on our phones, we're missing important information being discussed and ignoring opportunities to contribute to the conversation. Devices also distract others. Research suggests that we feel annoyed when people are on their devices during a meeting, yet we fail to realize that our actions have the same effect on others. When people are presenting, they can also feel hurt or insulted when someone reaches for their phone – especially if that person is a senior leader. So leave your phone behind, and pay attention.

I think employee recognition is an invaluable leadership quality. If the leader can recognize the employee's potential and progress, and praise them for that, his/her employee will have a high morale and want to work harder & do well for their supervisor/boss. This article has some really interesting data.
