There's the guy who clips his fingernails at his desk. The woman who talks in a "kitty whitty" voice when she asks for a favor. Or the manager who takes his shoes off in a meeting and props his feet on the table. All people I have worked alongside. All people I wished would be transferred to a faraway rain forest. So, I have to learn to work with them. Shearouse says. Keep it in perspective.

As may know, I’ve been running a short survey over the last few months. This is now closed and I’ve been through the results. A lot of my questions for qualitative, making it difficult to communicate the results in a short summary but I’ll come back to individual questions from this over the next couple of months. Anyway, I started with key business challenges. Again, I suggest that’s about right.

Drucker got it wrong. Drucker famously wrote that “ the purpose of business is to create and keep a customer. ” I’m as much a fan of Drucker’s as any management scholar, but I have to part ways with him here. The purpose of business is NOT to create or to keep a customer. Certainly it is an objective, even THE primary objective of business. Still, objectives are not purpose.

A few years back, when I was struggling with some repetitive/difficult situations at work, one of my seniors (and a good friend) asked me, “Do you know the root cause of your problem?”. He went on to draw a diagram on his notebook, and connected the problem to the other parts of the organizational system. realized that I was fighting the symptom, whereas the root cause was something completely different. Today, when I am responsible for improvements in a business environment, this lesson serves me well. My friend introduced me to the powerful concept of “systems thinking.”

The Recruiting Innovation conference provided a great overview of the need for a more talent-centric approach to hiring, and also of the social and other technologies that support this. We talked quite a bit about the role and tools of the Sourcer in my Barcelona workshop. We talked less about the role of the Community Architect / Social Engineer, but I agree this one is increasingly important too.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I would like an insider like yourself to answer this instead of getting my info from crazy internet conspiracy theorists. You give wonderful advice to working professionals, but I'm wondering if you won't take a moment to give a hand up to us "regular Joes." Why is it SO hard to find a JOB? Just a regular job? Why are these employers so full of themselves and out-of-touch?
