Awareness and Reminder to Interact

I'm sure many of us see children and teens so focused on phone communication that they tune out the rest of the world, oblivious to the people in their surroundings. It is certainly an issue of the current generation. Sometimes, however, what we see in children and teens may be a direct reflection of what we are doing, what they see in us.

Leadership and management, what we do, is a people business. Although not always possible, the greatest impact and influence we can have happens "live" and in person. The monkey business in the cartoon is a good reminder that we need to be as  aware of those in our environment as we are aware of those we reach through the Internet.
