Got Chicken?

(Caution! Video clip contains "foul" language!)

Leeroy Jenkins, an Internet phenom & member of a team of World of Warcraft players, left his computer to get some chicken while the rest of the team communicated their detailed plan to enter into battle.

When Leeroy finally returns, he prematurely runs past his team (still meeting outside of the castle), and into battle screaming "Let's do this! Leeeeeeroooooy Jenkins!" His stunned teammates follow him into battle. Leeroy, the weakest link in the geek brain trust, facilitated a fatal ending for the entire team.

Sound familiar? We've all worked with a Leeroy at some point in our careers. Listening is a fundamental component to effective communication and teamwork. Increase your team's 32.33% chance of survival. Schedule an Active Listening training today!
