Treat This Week: Interesting Employee Engagement DataMarch 17, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1) Not that this should come as much of a surprise when you stop to think about it, but the results of Gallup's 2009 study on employee engagement do say a lot not only about employees' needs but about human nature as well. The net, net? People don't respond well to being ignored or made to feel invisible. They need to be seen, even if that doesn't equate with being appreciated, per se. Interesting management fodder for sure.

Culture and Cause: It’s an Asian Thing?March 13, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (10)  It’s a funny thing ~ sort of. I work with Patty and Dito, both of whom are Chinese and have presented an interesting pattern in our company. It took several instances before I noticed, but then every time the two of them agreed on something or realized that they shared something in common, they’d look at each other, then look at me and say, “It’s an Asian thing.” At first, I was intrigued and wanted to understand how being Asian brought them to make such attributions about themselves. It’s the ultimate appreciation of diversity, right? Learning from differences and gleaning insights into how cultural identities help shape who we are. But then after it continued from ever...Read More Industries: Human Resources Recent Posts
Peeve This Week: JustificationMarch 11, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1)  If you stop to think for a minute just how much people get away with by justifying their behavior, it’s mind-boggling. Of course politicians and CEO’s come to mind first as some of the best examples that show people who weave elaborate tales to support the reasons why they just had to do what they did. In fact, look at what’s been happening lately with the rationale du jour of sexual addiction. It's absurd. What I find really frightening though is the extent to which these folks are able to convince themselves, not that they are right necessarily, but that their excuses put them well within the means of acceptable behavior. And worse, they think that the people who make sense and are morally sound, are the crazy ones? It scares me speechless.

Measuring Success: Money Is EverythingMarch 7, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (11)  I think it’s strange how success is measured in this country. Most would agree that the markers exclusively point to either money or the things that money can buy. It doesn’t even seem to matter how people get or make their money, as long as they’ve got it, they are perceived as having “succeeded.” My question then becomes, “Succeeded at what – exactly?” Isn’t there more to it than that, because let’s face it, as mad as it is, it takes a Bernie Madoff to turn all of that cash into something gross and disgraceful. Indeed, we look at accomplishments too, but even then only seem to deem those people “successful” if their accomplishments ...Read More Industries: Human Resources Recent Posts
Treat This Week: Great Job Hunting Advice from Simon SinekMarch 4, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1)  Regardless of what position I’ve held in any given organization over the course of my career, I always found it odd (and disturbing) when I saw people change their behavior based on the make up of the audience whose attention they had. It was disappointing to witness these folks adapt the way they acted according to the “levels” of the individuals in the room and their perceived importance, or lack thereof. How people turn off and on like that and seem to go unnoticed so much of the time, has forever perplexed me. One would think that such Jekyll and Hyde personalities would be easy to pick out of a crowd. Apparently, not so, at least not until now. When I read a ...Read More
