Weekly Poll: What Do You Do?

Tuesday August 29, 2006
Please take the time to vote in the weekly poll in the right hand column of this blog. Different than my usual polls, this poll is a survey to determine your job title or responsibilities so I can write for the right audience. Also, aren't you just a bit curious, too?

In my effort to create a site that meets the needs of my audience and site visitors, I need to know who you are. Will you please take a moment and take my poll? The job title may not match yours exactly (I only have ten choices to provide) so please select the answer that most closely describes your current job or role in the workplace.


Determining who my site visitors are is a constant challenge. Consequently, knowing what topics will interest you is also a challenge. About provides statistics about how many people visit each page, but these stats don't tell me who you are and what you do. Especially, they don't tell me what you most want from the site.


I'd appreciate your participation in today's quick survey. Not a poll this week, but a quick check of your job title, this is the first of several survey-type questions I'll send your way in the near future. Your emailed questions, comments, and requests are also helpful. For a quick response, you can always post in the Forum.

Please notice that I have added several topics on the site that I am now covering more indepth than previously. One is job descriptions since that is another favorite of site visitors.

A second favorite topic that is emerging is ice breakers. In my role as a consultant and trainer for more than twenty years, you can bet I've developed my share of icebreakers, and I am now gradually sharing them with you. Enjoy.

Again, please take the time to vote in my most recent poll: What Turns You Off the Fastest?

Another recent poll has drawn almost 1,200 votes. Color Me Purple for Team Building. Red is the current leader, in contrast to my expectations.

All prior polls. Vote in previous polls.
