We do this in my classes at Columbia College and the days we engage in deliberate practice of networking are always the most fun. To get started, it is always OK to open a conversation with something very low-key like the weather.

Leadership in Tough Times Requires Great Communication--Not ... (Inc.com)

We expect leaders to show their empathy even when they couldn't possibly know what it feels like to face the terror of an uncertain economic future. (You can start by doing everything you can to help them find a new job. A leader behind a locked door (whether real or metaphorical) also gives the impression that they are working on something they don't want their team to see. Instead, certainty means knowing the strength and character of yourself and the people you surround yourself with. It is a fire that will burn right through the reassuring statements of government economists. If you've ever been in that position before, you know how scary it is to read a post like that.
