I feel very fortunate that I learned about public speaking early in life. One of my first jobs was being a tour guide at an aquatic marine life theme park who has an Orcinus orca as their mascot. (I’ll let you guess which one!) While I didn’t realize it at the time, the experience was priceless. After attending a few events lately, I wanted to share a few observations about public speaking.

In today’s technologically advanced world, it can seem almost impossible that any recruiter would have clients who are not on board with newer recruiting technology, such as video interviews. However, this can be the case with many older clients who seem to think that what has always worked, will still work. Do not be discouraged – it is possible to sell these “old-school” clients on newer recruiting technology!

Exit interviews are a double-edged sword: Your company desperately wants information from departing employees about how to improve, but employees have little motivation to provide complete, honest reasons for their departure. You can promise up one side and down the other that you'll keep individual answers confidential, but the person is unlikely to believe that his former manager won't find out if he says, “I'm leaving because my manager is a jerk.

I’ve been to a few conferences lately that have mentioned “grit.” It’s the new term for perseverance. I totally get it and I’m a fan of perseverance. Some of these same events have conveyed that the opposite of perseverance is quitting and therefore, a bad thing. That I don’t agree with. I assume the implication is you shouldn’t quit even when things are really tough.

Like the title of this post says, I believe the role of a manager is to identify and hire their replacement. Think about it. If a manager takes their role seriously, then they are constantly searching for talent. They are encouraging employees to learn. They are sharing knowledge by coaching and mentoring. And they are supporting employee growth and development.

My friend Lance Haun wrote last week about why he thinks we should fight for legislating parental leave in the US. I don’t know that I’ve ironed out my point of view 100%, but I don’t know that I agree with him at this point. Remember, this is a dialogue, not a requirement to conform. :-) So, as a father to three small children, you might expect me to be for this type of thing.

That isn't a "gotcha" question. It's simply a direct one. Regardless of the job title, if we're responsible for how other people perform then we're responsible for how they learn to perform even better.

No one likes an overbearing manager. They’re too imposing at work, too obsessed with perfection and making sure nothing goes wrong, and you can tell they’re only in the job for themselves. Somehow, it’s possible for them to be watching your every move and tweaking your work while never being around when you need them. Overbearing managers are the worst kind , but even worse than that is that managers themselves often don’t know how imposing they’re being.

Competency is defined as an ability or skill. Every profession has competencies. And we want competencies; they are the things that make us successful.
