What’s your personality type?
I am an introverted, sensing, thinking, judging personality. Brief description:
“In general, the ISTJ personality type has a tremendous amount of potential. Capable, logical, reasonable, and effective individuals with a deeply driven desire to promote security and peaceful living, the ISTJ has what it takes to be highly effective at achieving their chosen goals - whatever they may be.”
Many people find it difficult to get to know me and say that I do not interact with my employees enough as a leader. Therefore, most only have a perception of who I am. Only those individuals I deal with on a daily bases get to see who the real Ron is. I am an introverted person who finds it difficult to stop by and strike up conversations with people. For those of you who took an Organization behavior course, my personality type is an ISTJ “the Duty Fulfiller”. Go to this website for complete description ISTJ Full Description. The summary on this website is me all the way. I encourage you to read this description and then maybe you will understand a bit more of how I am wired up internally. I also write this blog where individuals can read some of the devotionals or watch my salvation testimony from 3 years ago, and get a glimpse of who I am to those who know me.
Don’t want to read…listen to great music
I have added a new play list at the bottom right-hand corner of my blog. If you don’t want to read my material, you can at least come to listen to some great worship music. These 48 songs are my favorite for getting close to God (okay maybe not Kutless, but I had to have something christian to replace Linkin Park). Come back as often as you would like. Also, any suggested worship songs, feel free to email me at kennedy14ron@yahoo.com

Poor Communication in Your Organization
Typically in any organization there are always issues with communication. All organizations, large and small, are looking for solutions to improve communication. I have been leading people for the past 10 years, during which time I have experienced good communication and poor communication. I have categorized my experiences into three areas to be targeted in order to lend itself to better communication across the board. First and foremost is recognizing that potential barriers exist to begin with. As a leader it is important to recognize that there is always room for improvement and not to become complacent in the first place. 
1. Chain of Command… Remember in elementary school playing the game “telephone?” My teacher used it as an example of how gossip spreads. We were all asked to form a circle. Then Mrs. Woodruff whispered a “secret” message in the first child’s ear. This message was then whispered from person to person around the circle until it returned back to Mrs. Woodruff. She then asked this child to repeat the final message aloud. To the astonishment of us all, that message seemed to be different from the one each of us had received around the circle. Her point was made! It has been my experience leading people that this childhood game still holds true. As messages are passed up or down through the layers of the organization, they pass through a number of different people who can add, take from, qualify or totally twist the original message. In my organization, communication begins with the directors who receive instruction directly from me. They are then asked to share this information with their group of front line agents. One way I try to make sure the directives or communication that I pass down actually get to the front-lines the way I intended is to randomly conduct “round table” discussions. I pull 3-5 front line agents in for a discussion that is very informal and ask specific questions to get a feel for the messages I have passed down and to make sure the director is doing their job. Give this a try, it is an extremely enlightening experience.
