As I continue to update and add content to The Bob Pike Group's new site I am finding it difficult to figure out what topics are most useful for you to read about, so I am asking you to fill out a short form and tell me what topics you would like to see posted on our site as resources for you. If we do not have articles already published on your topic it will be put on our e-Zine list to be written, published and posted in the near future. Thank you for taking the time to read this even if you did not fill out the form. Have a wonderous day (no that is probably not a word)! Topic suggestions form.

According to Tom Rath and Barry Conchie, coauthors of Strengths Based Leadership: Great Leaders, Teams, and Why People Follow, it's easy for leaders to misunderstand what followers need. The confusion is exacerbated because what leaders get paid to do often is not what their followers need them to do.

Can Research-Based Creative Teaching Strategies be implemented in a high-poverty, inner city high school? As trainers for RCTS in central Kentucky, we say the answer is yes. A recent observation in a high school co-taught classroom confirmed our affirmation. Welcome to the first quarter 2009 edition of The Bob Pike Creative Teaching e-Zine! The feedback from our inaugural year in 2008 was overwhelmingly positive, so we are delighted to announce that this service will continue free of charge in 2009. Connections create credibility. To put it simply, people are much more apt to believe you if they like you. Haven’t you observed speakers who had great messages but who lost your respect because of their arrogance? On the other hand, how about those poor ramblers who had tremendous difficulty organizing their thoughts and feelings but whose words moved you because you liked them personally? Perhaps you’re an incredible presenter, very comfortable building rapport, and your groups go away retaining all they’ve heard and experienced. But somehow, no matter how gifted you may be, spelling while you’re presenting always seems to be an issue. There’s something about writing on a flip chart in 224-point font that does even the best spellers in.
