As the year progresses, solicit feedback from your team members on market movements and practices that may impact your industry in the coming months. An employee may be aware of a new technology that can help your operation thrive or have insight into an impending trend that could negatively impact your bottom line in a
subsequent quarter. No one has a crystal ball, but your employees may offer a realistic glimpse into the future. Keep communication clear. With more businesses utilizing more remote or freelance workers than ever before, maintaining clear communications is paramount to effective leadership. While it’s essential to put instructions and other critical information in writing to ensure employees understand their roles, discussing these matters with them is equally important — not just relying on their reading a manual or viewing a prerecorded instructional Zoom video. One effective way to assess an employee’s grasp of certain processes is to have them walk you or a more experienced team member through the steps they take to complete the tasks. If they struggle to communicate the steps clearly, it’s a sign they need additional training. Additionally, it’s essential to recognize that not every employee learns the same way. Some may succeed easily through visual instruction, while others prefer learning by doing. The key is developing varied instructional options to help team members thrive in their respective environments.
HAVE A Laugh The Bizarre History of the Bursting Teeth
People love unsolved mysteries, as shown by the numerous podcasts and shows about cold cases, and here’s another riddle for the ages: What caused the mystery of the exploding teeth? Several times during the mid- 1800s, people were beset by agonizing dental pain followed by an explosion of a tooth, according to scientific journal articles reported by the BBC. One clergyman reported a toothache so intense that he immersed his head in a cold spring to no avail. Later, “a sharp crack, like
a pistol shot, burst his tooth to fragments, giving him instant relief,” a journal reported. In another case, a woman’s molar burst so violently that it “well-nigh knocked her over.” The cause of these dental detonations isn’t clear. Some suggest, without evidence, that a mixture of metals in dental fillings may have kindled a gas explosion. Without other explanations, the mystery of the exploding teeth remains unsolved.
