E-mails can definitely be a great tool of communication, yet it can also be a great tool of "miscommunication". If it's not for informational purposes or encouragement....like you said, "PICK UP the PHONE". I like that!!!!! There's nothing better than communicating heart to heart! Thank you for the great reminder for our teams...and also for your heart Rod! "Building" teams with you, Dane Amen Rod!

I like the words, "get up, dress up, and show up". I never be late for work, or lazy at work, but my mood changes due to all the life struggles, and people can see it right through me. I am still proud of myself that I can get up and show up at work no matter what. people at work don't know how much horrible things are happening to me in my private life. But then, since they don't know, they expect me to be all cheerful and in a good mood. It is hard. In order to do the right thing, I have to pretend that I am fine at work wheather or not I am happy and it's becoming stressful... Thank you for the great guidance.

Though I'm not proud to say this at all, all eight "infections" about have lead to the decay of the team I'm on. I have to stop pointing the finger at everyone else and start looking on the inside. This really made me stop to think about my role in this team. I was a part of the decay, BUT I'M CHANGING. =) Wow, it’s as if you’ve taken a microscope and analyzed the “team” I’m on.

A team that’s decaying consists a group of people who have lost their trust in one another. What’s a quick way to rotting relationships - seed mistrust into the heart of your team. This applies to any relationship whether it be in church, business or at home. The lack of trust burns quickly into lost of trust. Then communication goes sour. Why does communication go sour? There are many reasons aren’t there? But we know that broken communication adds to broken trust, leading to broken relationships, leading to team decay.
