The rate of change in the business world today is greater than our ability to respond. In a world that is often described as VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and ambiguous), there are major tectonic shifts that demand a new mindset of leadership. First, let us look at these shifts. In recent years, we have seen disruption of market leaders like Kodak and Nokia amongst many others.

Productive workplace practices focus on performance and the improvement of that performance. Aligning your employees with that concept can help reinforce the significance of key productivity drivers. Often times, many mistake this to mean they need to work harder in order to prove themselves worthy and/or valuable to a boss, colleague or even an entire team. Creating a Productive Culture.

Recruiters have the best of intentions when they try to connect with tech pros on social media. But as a recruiter, you may inadvertently repel the very people you’re trying to attract if you commit one or more of these critical blunders. The candidate population is very candid about what they like and don’t like,” explained Matthew Ripaldi, senior regional VP for Modis, a tech-staffing agency.

How to get better employees (without replacing them)

TalentCulture

JANUARY 5, 2016

It is far more desirable to upgrade your current employees than replace them. Financially, it’s a no-brainer: you will avoid the expenses that come with recruiting and training. But the benefits go far beyond saving money. Upgrading your current staff can also ensure employee retention and nurture a happy office environment with boosted morale. Training courses are a form of incentives.

My CEO believes we need to replace this manager but I don’t believe we do. This manager delegated his duties so heavily he made himself dispensable. Thank you. And I love your blog and Twitter!

I had tickets to see Star Wars last night. I’ve had these tickets since November 9th. I’m not exactly a super fan (read: I don’t own any light sabers and my hair is too short to do the Princess Leia buns), but I do thoroughly enjoy the first three movies. The second set? Meh.) So, I was very excited to go. Then my daughter got hit by a tram. Luckily, it was pulling into a stop and so wasn’t going fast and she only ended up with two badly sprained ankles and a trip to the emergency room. So, while my friends were enjoying Star Wars, I was in the emergency room.

Ask a Manager

Periodically I hear someone complain about a coworker or an employee and say “but it’s impossible to fire anyone here, so we’re stuck.” ” It’s not true. No sane organization truly forbids firing people. At worst, it usually means “we have lots of hoops to jump through in order to fire someone, but it can be done.”. Even in the federal government and even in unionized workplaces — both of which people are fond of saying make it impossible to fire people — you can fire people. And as a manager, you must  be willing to put in the time. firing
