		<description><![CDATA[I was reflecting back on some pre-training interviews with different organizations in the past two weeks. One theme was common &#8211; lack of positive feedback.   Of all the leadership tools at the manager&#8217;s disposal, positive feedback is one of the least expensive and highest payback actions. Instead of focusing so much attention on what [...]]]></description>

Gladwell wrote the best sellers Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers.   What I like most about Gladwell&#8217;s books is that they are fueled by a curiosity about things that most of us don&#8217;t think twice about. In What [...]]]></description>
