Key To Business Success "Teamwork - A Key to Business Success" is the title and the highlight of a workshop given by McHenry County college Saturday, March 10, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The workshop was developed and will be conducted by Chicago area management consultant, Bernard Kleon, who also developed MCC's well-attended Time Success Training workshops. Registration in­ formation can be obtained by calling the college. Have you ever wondered about the differences between an ordinary work group and an For License Plates effective team? Chances are that you've seen the difference in your business, work, social or family experience. Kleon maintains that this ^difference is often the difference between success and failure of b u s i n e s s e s , s o c i a l organizations, and even families. "The most important characteristic of effective teams," Kleon points out, "is the ability of team members to share objectives and ways of attaining them. Effective teams get things done well and get them done fast. The results ire not cluttered up by in­ dividual members needing to look good, and make each other look bad~so the energy saved from internal competition and ^conflict goes into the results. Individual members of ef­ fective teams are also relatively free of tension and its symptoms because the group energy is focused on results." If you are a leader, chair­ person, boss or head of an organization and want to learn some simple and effective keys to success-contact McHenry County college and register for this important workshop.

(Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping - Com­ munication Difficulties.") There is no doubt that communication is an art that few people have ever com­ pletely perfected. Fortunately, precise understanding of another person is seldom an absolute necessity, since it is rarely attainable. At best, most people must be satisfied with understanding the basic idea of another's communication. The structure of language, "hid­ den" meanings, subtle gestures, facial expressions, voice tone, body posture, and many other subtle factors all combine to change meanings when communicating ^ to another person. In order to best communicate with another person, it is necessary to really want to be understood and for the other person to really want to un­ derstand. In a close personal relationship, such as between a husband and wife, com­ munication often breaks down because of either a reluctance on the part of one of them to be understood or a reluctance to try to understand. When a wife asks an obviously distraught husband, "What's wrong?" and receives a reply of, "Oh, nothing at all," communication is not possible. They may as well be speaking in different languages. There is a built in problem of the inadequacy of words to express feelings. The eskimos have twenty different words to describe snow, but only a couple of words to express anger. Most people would agree that anger is more complex than snow. What usually happens is that even when a person wants very much to communicate a feeling, the intent is very much different $ than the impact on the other person. Most important in com­ munication is a sincere desire to communicate and a sincere desire to receive the com­ munication. As most people do not read minds, non-verbal communication is usually misinterpretted, sometimes with disastrous effects. Much of marital counseling is a con­ certed effort on the part of the couple and the counselor to clarify misinterpretations and mis-communications. Next: Group Terapy. (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. Several weeks ago, you gave us suggestions for con­ serving heat in our homes, however, you did not mention supplemental heating or advice on insulation and other areas such as food preparation. Does the state's Institute of Natural Resources have some advice on energy conservation in these areas? A. Yes, the INR does have suggestions which are available at no charge to the public in a recently printed pamphlet entitled, "156 Ways to Save Energy". You may obtain the document by writing to the Illinois Institute of Natural Resources, 222 S. College, Springfield, 111., 62706, to the attention of "156 Ways". In the meantime, here are some more tips on energy conservation: -Consider a wood-burning stove for the basement, workshop, den or garage. -Keep the fireplace damper shut when not in use, but make sure the fire and the ashes are completely out before closing the damper. Replace air filters on warm air systems at least once a month. -Check insulation in outside walls and update properly. -Insulate hot air ducts in unheated areas. -Close or block foundation vents during winter months. The crawf space must have a barrier on the ground to prevent moisture condensation inside the home. -Make one-dish meals or heat all dishes in the oven together. -Use high heat only to bring water to boil. A covered pot saves twenty percent com­ pared to an open pot. * -Don't oven peep, you lose twenty-five degrees each time. --Broil foods rather than frying or baking, or better yet, consider a microwave oven. --Use a toaster size oven instead of a full size oven for small items. -Thaw frozen foods before cooking, preferably in the refrigerator to regain cooling energy. -Preheat your oven only two or three minutes. -Turn off electric burners and oven before completing cooking cycle. Food continues to cook on free heat. -Cook vegetables in small amounts of water and don't overcook them. --Don't preheat stove-top heating units. -Close your refrigerator door on a dollar bill. If it slides out easily, you need a new gasket. -Keep the condenser coils of the refrigerator clean and defrost the freezer when the frost is about one-quarter inch thick. -Let foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator or freezer. --Don't keep your refrigerator too cold; set 38-40 degrees for the fresh food compartment, five degrees for the freezer section. r- -Keep the freezer full. -Select a manual rather than an automatic defrost refrigerator freezer. Write or call us at Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal's Senior Action centers at 160 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, 111., 60601, or 3 West Old Town Mall, Springfield, 111., 62701 with questions or concerns about any government agency or programs.
