Gnossos+Communicators

//__GNOSSOS COMMUNICATORS__// **established December 2011**



**__WHO ARE THE GNOSSOS COMMUNICATORS__** **Gnossos Communicators** gather, organize and effectively and efficiently share our knowledge with everyone. Although we love to talk, we also love to listen and learn from others. Based on Lifebushido Principles, Gnossos Communicators are experts and excel in teams as librarians/researchers. As gatherers of information, Gnossos Communicators love teaching and mentoring others about the core work that they develop and organize. If you have Survived your Serengeti as an Elephant, then this is the Triangle for you!

__**GNOSSOS PROFESSIONAL MISSION**__

**The Mission of the Gnossos Communicators **is to encourage and support Triangle members by leading them to their professional Lifebushido goals and assisting them with finding teams and departments that encompass their specific talents. Additionally, it is this groups mission to encourage open dialogue and positive interaction among the members and other Lifebushido staff (especially during the new hire task process) so that the Triangle members will become competent and successful in their positions at Lifebushido.

In the interim, I can tell you that all Triangles are shaped to have a Moderator/Leader, Scribe, Vision and at least two Members.

I am looking for energetic, happy, yet serious people who want to form this team and I think that you will be an awesome fit!

In spring 2008, we started an experiment called Lifebushido Triangles. I think this could be one of the most powerful parts of Lifebushido. At this time, it is still an experiment and your ideas are as good as anyone else. Here is the concept: A Lifebushido Triangle is a group of three Ishidos who started working with Lifebushido around the same time. The purpose is to provide a support group to help Ishidos through the training process and beyond. Each LB Triangle will have one Moderator to coordinate a weekly or monthly conference call or IM session. A Triangle is a self-managed peer-to-peer group. This is optional and time spent on Lifebushido Triangle is not billable work. I suggest you give it a try for first month and if not clicking then phase out of your Triangle. If you want to join a Lifebushido Triangle, email triangle@lifebushido.com and say whether you want to be a Moderator or not and whether you prefer phone conference calls or IM sessions. The LB Triangle manager will group you together. See http://lifebushido.wikispaces.com/Lifebushido+Triangle for more details and examples of Triangle Projects. Keep in touch, Steve || nickroberson1@yahoo.com || All New Hires || Greetings Fellow Teammates: My name is Nick Roberson and like you, I am also a new hire.

I read on the Lifebushido site that all staff need to use free email sites such as yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc. and that aol is not one that is recommended. Additionally, it states that staff will need to use a email with their first and last name without using all caps such as my email nickroberson1@yahoo.com . If you change your email, please use yahoo as our triangle will use yahoo messenger as one of our video/im site. You will also need to set up a Wikispaces account and join Lifebushido and Lifebushido Triangles. Please let me know when you have done this so that we can speak on adding you to Gnonnos Communicators.ThanksNick ||
