Are you in the know? Keeping yourself up to date

Whether it is newsletters, blogs, Google alerts, or having The Wall Street Journal delivered to my apartment, I try to keep abreast of any updates and news. I think it is so important to be able to forecast what is coming down the line rather then hear about it after. It is a great conversation starter if you are able to discuss current events with co-workers and bring them up to speed with what you have been reading. Also, passing along e-mails to your manager could help facilitate more communications and tips amongst your team.
