Rosa Say is a busines blogger and author. Her latest book, Managing with Aloha, looks to be very interesting. One of the things she recommends for managers is to have a a daily five minute meeting with at least one of their employees. It looks to have worked well in the situations she talks about.
Even though I'm not a manager, I've been thinking of starting this with the other developers in my group. There are times when I feel we are connected but other times, we still are in private silos both in terms of knowledge and responsibilities. Would spending 5 minutes with someone help that? I'd like to think so.
