Talk It Out
Communicating means more than simply talking. To improve your connection with people:

- Be quick. If something is bothering you, address the problem within 24 hours.
- Be inclusive. Open communication increases trust.

- Think creatively. Look for unconventional solutions when you meet a challenge.
Grow your enthusiasm by:
- Showing a sense of urgency. Give yourself deadlines for completing the steps of a project.
- Taking on more. Do what is required and then go beyond the assignment.
- Striving for excellence. Nothing breeds enthusiasm like the feeling of success that follows a job well done.
