Every company wants high performers. They’re more productive, highly driven, can save you money on hiring and, if you can keep them around long enough, they have the potential to do great things for your organization. But when it comes to attracting them, it seems companies are still stuck with their outdated ideas of talent acquisition. What’s the key to recruiting high performers ? Compassion.

It has become a primary communication, marketing, recruiting, networking and branding channel to reach more people better and faster than at any time in history. It doesn’t really matter if I wanted the world to become a digital place…or if I was hoping the world of work would be completely dominated by these tools. That’s right.

If you do nothing else today, print this out and post it on your office wall, and get others to do the same. Empathize.

The likelihood of death during a house fire increases four times if you don’t have a working smoke alarm.

Reading through the 6 Habits reminded me of a book called, “ All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten ” by Robert Fulghum.

What’s the purpose of selling? Sounds pretty straightforward, right? Try Googling It – you’ll get “the purpose of selling is to gain revenue,” or “the purpose of sales is to create a customer.” But there’s a problem with viewing sales that way. If you think the purpose of selling is to add to your firm’s topline (or your own bottom line), then you’re thinking in you -terms – not in client -terms.

When you call in sick, is your boss allowed to ask exactly what’s wrong with you and make you feel like you need to prove you’re sick enough to justify the day off? Most people are unclear on what their employer has the right to ask when they call out sick. And many employers aren’t sure either!

Two hands that would be raised, though, are those of Washington Senator Patty Murray and Virginia Congressman Bobby Scott (both Dems), who, last week, introduced and sponsored the Workplace Action for a Growing Economy (WAGE) Act.
