I worked in the HR trenches for most of my career and at every job, the trusty EAP brochure was not far from reach.  The only trouble is, employees just don’t tend to use the EAP (Employee Assistance Program) benefits and resources as often as we would hope.  My friends and chosen colleagues in the HR world first embraced me in the most loving support I could hope for.

During the filming of this rare rabbit, the cameraman, so focused on his job, stepped backwards and crushed the little fellow.

Then, if you come in late a 3rd time, you’re fired.” ” So many managers rely on these carrots and sticks to get performance out of their employees. And why not? They work, don’t they? We work hard to get the bonus, or we straighten up and fly right in order to keep from getting fired. Anyone can do carrot/stick management. But, leaders lead without carrots or sticks.
