Dear Evil HR Lady, My coworkers and I are all miserable because our manger is, in a word, terrible. While I’d love to list her shortcomings (they are many), I’ll just say that in the seven months she has been here, she single-handedly ruined what used to be a fantastic, high-functioning group. Finally, one of our coworkers (we’ll call her Tanya) approached HR about the problems we’ve been having.

'Guest Post by Jim Webber While I was at the local coffee shop this week, I noticed a young father typing away on his computer as his baby napped in his lap. The thing that caught my attention was that no one else paid any attention. He was just another guy doing some work while enjoying his latte. It made me happy. It was very different twenty years ago when my two daughters were toddlers and I was a newly single dad.

'With slightly more L&D resources this year, organizations are increasing their training offerings. This is generally good news for employees and employers, as effective development programs enable employees to enhance their skills and help their organizations meet their goals. The key word here is effective training programs. We all know that whether learners receive 4 hours of training or 40 doesn’t make a bit of difference if they aren't learning the skills and applying it to th

My project social partner Dave Ryan and I were chuckling about this recently but he admitted that there is a grain of truth. Perhaps more than a grain, as you can read about in his latest post. Of course, it''s unfair to expect HR folks to rise above sordid matters like needing a paycheck and represent the interests of employees because HR professional

Overall, companies spent 2% more on training in 2010 than in 2009. With budgets loosening up, many L&D organizations initiated learning infrastructure projects in 2010.

You may be interested in these notes on innovation in HCM from my Winter newsletter : Unfortunately innovation is not something that is seen as a priority by many businesses (see this article and this one in the FT for example). I think this is a shame. Yes, HR’s role in enabling innovation within the business is a highly important one, but innovating its own approach and processes is increasingly important too.

The true test of a leader is when things don’t go as planned. Worst yet, when things fail. In an organizational context, I have seen so many leaders who drive the project/initiative right from the beginning – yet when the project fails, they blame others. The blame senior management, the organization culture, their own team members and sometimes even the customers.

In organizations, I have seen people who are “designated” as leaders. I have seen many such designated leaders, who raised their game to meet the expectations that come along with leadership. They make an effort to learn about leadership, read books, blogs and consciously put those lessons in action. On the other hand, I have also seen designated leaders who create a shield of air around themselves.
