Thanks for all the great comments! I've been on vacation, officially "unplugged", so it was a nice surprise to return to your feedback!

This is a topic that never ceases to amaze me, hence the article! In a time of such rapid communication, you'd think, well, that we'd communicate better. Despite the advancement of technology and knowledge as a whole, I think we are actually regressing in personal communication. Sure we can receive email from across the globe in 2.5 seconds and Skype face-to-face like it ain't no thing, but because of that, it's like we're forgetting to apply the glue that holds it all together. We get so caught up in all the "things", it's easy to forget or be reminded to remember, " Did I execute that well? Was I clear in my direction, expectation, delivery? Am I clear on what's expected of me?  Did I teach someone something today? Did I learn something from  someone else? Am I set up for success? Have I set my team up for success?"

Recently, a CEO told me their company doesn't "DO" the whole job description thing because such processes interupt the "creative process". Mind you this wasn't really a 'creative company'. I consider my self pretty creative and know alot of super, talented creative folks. If anything kills the buzz of creativity, in my opinion, it's ambiguity sucking the energy from the 'white space' where those cool, creative, out of the box moments are allowed to breathe. When a foundation had been laid early on and people of all types understand where they lie and the borders that surround them, that's where creativity begin and be sustainted!
