4. In Chapter 15 of Sticking Points, Shaw identifies significant differences in how the different generations regard the conduct in formal meetings.  One difference relates to multi-tasking in a meeting when someone is making a presentation.  How do you personally view this type of multi-tasking and how does your organization regard this activity?

5. One of the major issues faced in the workplace today is Loyalty.  The problem is one both for the organization and the employee.  Employees are concerned with the frequency that employers discard employees without regard for their welfare, and employers are concerned with the time and expense related to employee training only to have them leave without regard for how it may affect the organization.  Shaw addresses this concern in chapter 14 of Sticking Points and Dave Crenshaw in his Small Business Secrets series of videos discusses Building Employee Loyalty.  How serious is this problem in general, what has been your experience, and how does this affect your attitude toward your work?
